This report provoked almost no reaction in a thread dominated by vital discussion of colour schemes. I made the mistake of starting "make ptestlong" on a 5.9.beta1 build last night without checking that that anything had been done so fix this catastrophic problem (and without creative use of ulimit, I admit). This morning the machine responds to ping but we cannot login to it. I will not be able to get physical access to the machine room until Monday at the earliest to reset the machine. In the meantime does anyone have any suggestions on how to get into it? Increasing the ConnectTimeout option for ssh does not help: after a few minutes the connection is broken with a message saying that the server is not responding. How come testing sage-5.9.beta? has not had a similar effect on all other Sage developers?
