While taking a look at this bug I discovered that the test suite doesn't pass 100% of the test when compiled with the NO_PTHREADS option. The following tests seem to be failing: t1060-object-corruption.sh (Wstat: 256 Tests: 13 Failed: 3) Failed tests: 7-9 Non-zero exit status: 1 t5306-pack-nobase.sh (Wstat: 256 Tests: 4 Failed: 1) Failed test: 4 Non-zero exit status: 1 t5504-fetch-receive-strict.sh (Wstat: 256 Tests: 12 Failed: 2) Failed tests: 4-5 Non-zero exit status: 1 t5530-upload-pack-error.sh (Wstat: 256 Tests: 10 Failed: 1) Failed test: 10 Non-zero exit status: 1 I didn't take a close look at it but this would seem to indicate that we don't worry to much about systems without pthreads support. Just food for thought. -- Brandon Williams
