#216: fork subprocess exiting (normally) segfaults
-------------------------------+--------------------------------------------
Reporter: cel...@… | Owner: lsansone...@…
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: major | Milestone:
Component: MacRuby | Keywords: fork process
-------------------------------+--------------------------------------------
When '''fork''''s subprocess dies, it segfaults about 80% of the time (out
of a sample of 10 runs):
{{{
echo "fork {}" | macruby
}}}
Calling the non-block version alone like this seems to segfault less
often, perhaps 50% of the time:
{{{
echo fork | macruby
}}}
Note that it's only the subprocess that segfaults, and not the main
process. This can be demonstrated:
{{{
fork { }
sleep 1
puts "soup"
}}}
This produces the segfault output, followed by 'soup' a moment later.
Strangely, sleeping after the non-block call causes things to work:
{{{
fork
sleep 1
}}}
(no segfault with the above code)
