Nice. Not sure what changed, but sounds like something did.

Or should that be 0.05%?

Some more data:  I batch-tested 'sage -c "quit"' about 1.2e6 times with
vanilla 4.5.3.alpha1 on sage.math.  Each run ended with exit status 0
and no cores or discernible errors.

 I get similar results on sage.math with the released 4.5.3.alpha0:

 $ cd /scratch/mpatel/tmp/cython/sage-4.5.3.alpha0-segs
 $ find -name core_x\* -type f | wc
      30      30    1315
 $ grep egmentation ptestlong-j20-*log | wc
      11      70     939

 So the problem could indeed lie elsewhere, e.g., in the doctesting system.

 I'll try to run some experiments with the attached make-based parallel
 doctester.

Could we use the tempfile module instead of using SAGE_TESTDIR.  The
tempfile module makes files and directories by default that are unique
and are *designed* to live on a fast filesystem, which gets cleaned
regularly.

sage: import tempfile

I made 20 copies of 4.5.3.alpha0.  In each copy, I ran the long doctest
suite serially with the alternate tester, which I modified to rename any
new cores after each test.  All copies end up with a "stealth" core in

data/extcode/genus2reduction/

and point to

sage/interfaces/genus2reduction.py

as the only source of this core.  I'll open a ticket.

Here's one problem: When we test

/path/to/foo.py

sage-doctest writes

SAGE_TESTDIR/.doctest_foo.py

runs the new file through 'python', and deletes it.  This can cause
collisions when we test in parallel multiple files with the same
basename, e.g., __init__, all, misc, conf, constructor, morphism, index,
tests, homset, element, twist, tutorial, sagetex, crystals,
cartesian_product, template, ring, etc.  (There's a similar problem with
testing non-library files, which sage-doctest first effectively copies
to SAGE_TESTDIR.)  We could instead use

.doctest_path_to_foo.py

or

.doctest_path_to_foo_ABC123.py

where ABC123 is unique.  With the latter we could run multiple
simultaneous tests of the same file.  I'll open a ticket or maybe use an
existing one.

I get the same results with 4.5.3.alpha0 + the Cython beta (rev 3629).

Strange, indeed.

Could the startup segfault be distinct from and not present among the
doctest faults?  Testing about 2500 files with a 0.5% startup failure
rate would give us about 13 extra, random(?) faults per run, which we
don't see.

Thanks for looking into this, another data point is really helpful. I
put a vanilla Sage in hudson and for a while it was passing all of its
tests every time, then all of the sudden it started failing too. Very
strange... For now I've resorted to starting up Sage in a loop (as the
segfault always happened during startup) and am seeing about a 0.5%
failure rate (which is the same that I see with a vanilla Sage).
Hopefully we can get the parallel testing to work much more reliably
so we can use it as a good indicator in our Cython build farm to keep
people from breaking Sage (and I'm honestly really surprised we
haven't run into these issues during release management as well...)

With the alternate tester and vanilla 4.5.3.alpha0, I get "only" the 20
cores in

data/extcode/genus2reduction/

(I don't know yet how many times and with which file(s) this fault
happens during each long doctest run nor whether certain files
reproducibly trigger the fault.)

Moreover, the only failed doctests are in startup.py (19 times) and
decorate.py (once).  The logs maketestlong-j20-* don't explicitly
mention segmentation faults.

So sage-ptest may be responsible, somehow, for the faults that leave
cores in apparently random directories and perhaps also for random test
failures.

The Cython beta, at least, may be off the hook.  But I'll check with the
alternate tester.

 Below are some results from parallel doctests on sage.math.  In each of

 /mnt/usb1/scratch/mpatel/tmp/sage-4.4.4-cython
 /mnt/usb1/scratch/mpatel/tmp/sage-4.5.1-cython

 I have run (or am still running)

 ./tester  | tee -a ztester &

I get similar results on sage.math with the released 4.5.3.alpha0:

$ cd /scratch/mpatel/tmp/cython/sage-4.5.3.alpha0-segs
$ find -name core_x\* -type f | wc
 30  301315
$ grep egmentation ptestlong-j20-*log | wc
 11  70 939

So the problem could indeed lie elsewhere, e.g., in the doctesting system.

I'll try to run some experiments with the attached make-based parallel
doctester.

With the new package, I get similar results, i.e., apparently random
segfaults.  The core score is about the same:

$ find -name core_cy2.\* | sort
./data/extcode/genus2reduction/core_cy2.1
./data/extcode/genus2reduction/

So it looks like you're getting segfaults all over the place as
well... Hmm... Could you test with
https://sage.math.washington.edu:8091/hudson/job/sage-build/163/artifact/cython-devel.spkg

Below are some results from parallel doctests on sage.math.  In each of

/mnt/usb1/scratch/mpatel/tmp/sage-4.4.4-cython
/mnt/usb1/scratch/mpatel/tmp/sage-4.5.1-cython

I have run (or am still running)

./tester  | tee -a ztester &

where 'tester' contains

#!/bin/bash
ulimit -c unlimited

RUNS=20
for I in `seq 1 $RUNS`;
do
LOG="ptestlong-j20-$I.log"
if [ ! -f "$LOG" ]; then
echo "Run $I of $RUNS"
nice ./sage -tp 20 -long -sagenb devel/sage > "$LOG" 2>&1

# grep -A2 -B1 dumped "$LOG"
ls -lsFtr `find -type f -name core` | grep core | tee -a "$LOG"

# Rename each core to core_cy.$I
rm -f _ren
find -name core -type f | awk '{print "mv "$0" "$0"_cy.'${I}'"}'
> _ren
. _ren
fi
done

The log files and cores (renamed to core_cy.1, etc.) are still in/under
SAGE_ROOT.

I don't know if the results tell you more than you already know.  For
example,

sage-4.5.1-cython$ for x in `\ls ptestlong-j20-*`; do grep "doctests
failed" $x; done | grep -v "0 doctests failed" | sort | uniq -c
  1 sage -t -long  devel/sage/sage/graphs/graph.py # 2
doctests failed
 19 sage -t -long  devel/sage/sage/tests/startup.py # 1
doctests failed

I haven't done any testing yet, but in order to get './sage -ba' to
finish, I applied a seventh patch (attached), which I discovered with

hg diff -R /scratch/craigcitro/cy-work/fcubed/devel/sage
