As you may have noticed, I have decided to follow that hunch and removed all (read: "both") uses of Lintian::Command/IPC::Run in t/runtests. So far I have not experienced any dead-locks. It is not a proof that it now works, but I am very pleased with apparent sudden absence of dead-locks ,,, even when running with 16 threads (on a related note; the runtime does not really improve after 8 threads). :) ~Niels -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
