Bug #5240

Updated by ko1 (Koichi Sasada) about 7 years ago

Hi, 

 The following test script (derived from a test in bootstraptest/test_fork.rb) 
 hangs very frequently on Debian GNU/kFreeBSD: 

 ``` 
 <---- 
 fork { } 
 puts "after fork" 
 t = Thread.start { fork{ } } 
 puts "after fork in thread" 
 t.join 
 puts "after join" 
 ``` ---> 

 Using git bisect, I determined that the commit introducing that regression is 
 SVN revision 32244: 
 - that revision hangs 
 - 32243 does not hang 

 This bug makes 1.9.3 unsuitable for being uploaded to Debian. So it would be 
 great if it was fixed before the release. Also, there are other test failures 
 that I'd like to analyze (but I can't because of that one), so I feel quite 
 worried about this.
