+1, especially to fleshing all this out for the various
PerlInterpScope directives.

FWIW, although the patch fixes this particular test for me,
I still occasionally get segfaults in t/perl/ithreads.t during
a full t/TEST run (with or without the patch, it's been a problem
I've had for quite a while). So there's still plenty of work to do ...

Everybody gets it once in a while (at the moment it's excluded from the distro). I can't see how it can be fixed, since it happens totally randomly.


Coming up with some more tests to isolate the ithread/PerlInterpScope bugs would really help a lot, because t/SMOKE isn't able to reduce it
to under ~400 tests (mainly because the ithreads.t tests doesn't *always* fail for me, and it *never* seems to fail when it's run all by itself).

Right. Most likely it's caused by a PERL_(SET|GET)_CONTEXT issue, but the cause could be different too. Debugging threads is not fun. I had cases where t/SMOKE would get just a few tens of tests, but it was still not very helpful.
