Are you sure of that? the difference between -4 and -5 does not look
like causing this at all. I am testing on a kfreebsd-amd64 porterbox.

That said, I am not against re-adding the timeout to the tests, but I
will probably make it specific to kfreebsd-*.

Hi Steven,

Steven Chamberlain escreveu isso aí:
 Whereas the buildds experience hangs during some tests, I see segfaults
 instead.  This sometimes happens even before the first test has been run.
 
 This small Ruby testcase results in segfault 50% of the time under
 ruby1.8 1.8.7.358-2, but always succeeds with ruby1.9.1 1.9.3.0-2:
 
  require 'thread'
  Thread.new do
  foo = bar
  end
 
 (Measured out of 100 runs, on kfreebsd-i386 with 4-way SMP)
 
 Attached are outputs from ktrace for a success and from a failure;  then
 I've tried to diff them.  There seems to be a race whereby thread0 tries
 to call thr_kill on thread2, but if that happens too late thread2 will
 trigger a segfault instead.

Thanks for the patch. I am preparing an upload to workaround the test
timeout and make the FTBFS go away ASAP.

If you can prepare a patch to fix the race condition, please attach it
to the new bug report which I am creating by cloning this one.
