I cannot reproduce it anymore. Hmm, interesting. I've looked at the test sources and cannot find a reason why it should fail. One thing you could do to try to provoke the failure would be running this test in a loop until it fails, and then send the parallel-tests5.log file. cd tests (ulimit -t 300; sh -c 'while make check TESTS=parallel-tests5.test; do :; done') echo $? Which make implementation and version do you use? Which distro is this? Thanks, Ralf
