Hmm. I can't reproduce a failure here, but I do get some weirdness. My recipe is: -- >8 -- cat >foo.sh <<\EOF #!/bin/sh exec >$1.out 2>&1 n=0 while test $n -lt 100; do n=$(($n+1)) GIT_TRANSPORT_HELPER_DEBUG=1 \ GIT_TRANSLOOP_DEBUG=1 \ GIT_DEBUG_TESTGIT=1 \ ./t5800-remote-helpers.sh --root=/run/shm/git-tests-$1 -v || { echo FAIL $n exit 1 } echo OK $n done EOF # try to keep an 8-core machine busy for i in `seq 1 16`; do sh foo.sh $i & done -- 8< -- I never see a test failure, but a few of the 16 end up hanging. The process tree for the hanged tests look like: t5800-remote-helper git push git-remote-testgit git fast-import git-fast-import All of them are blocked on wait(), except for the final fast-import, which is blocked trying to read() from stdin. -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
