Very strange. After the new release I instantly fetched the tarball and began a build on two different SPARC servers. Both run the same version of Solaris 10 however one is quite old and a baseline UltraSPARC II type processor. Very stable. Gets the job done. Run ISC Bind wonderfully well. The other is a much larger 128 core Niagara SPARC T2 server and it runs many many things. Both have fairly full stacks of open source software and Curl is a pretty critical piece of the puzzle. Essential in fact.
So the Niagara class server did the build and the testsuite wonderfully with flying colours and I simply did the install. Great. The older SPARC server did the build in twice the time ( yep, clock speed isn't everything in the SPARC world ) and the testsuite has been running now for 26 hours 52 minutes and 37 seconds fully wedged on test 0575 where the last line I see looks like : test 0574...OK (404 out of 984, remaining: 12:46) test 0575... Also a ps shows a really massive number of "defunct" processes. So I hit CTRL-C over and over. The things ends like so : test 0576...FAILED test 0578...FAILED test 0579...FAILED test 0580...FAILED test 0581...FAILED test 0584...FAILED test 0585...FAILED test 0586...FAILED test 0587...FAILED test 0588...FAILED test 0591...FAILED test 0592...FAILED test 0593...FAILED test 0595... . . . test 0704... exit FAILED test 0705...Somebody sent me a SIGINT at ./runtests.pl line 336. runtests.pl received SIGINT, exiting gmake[1]: *** [quiet-test] Error 2 gmake: *** [test] Interrupt time: command terminated abnormally. real 96757.03 user 0.00 sys 0.00 Also all the defunct processes vanish neatly in a puff of smoke. So I guess the question is, on a slower older system do I need to grant special considerations or perhaps indicate the the timeouts on a test should be extended or any thoughts ?

However only at test 575 and only on this old SPARC server. Any thoughts ?
