I understand your confusion. One of the reasons why this bug has been so
difficult to fix is that it falls into that maddening category of bugs
that manifest themselves consistently on one system but cannot be
reproduced on others. In addition, the file that fails mysteriously
during testing has mysteriously changed from
''t/compilers/pge/pge_examples.t'' to ''t/library/test_more.t''.
I hope to find the time to write to the list summarizing the current state
of this problem. But for now let me list the following:
* No failures for me on Darwin/PPC.
* No failures for most other testers on Linux 64-bit.
* No failures for me on Linux/i386 when I configure with `--optimize`.
* Since r43211, I have consistently gotten failures on my Linux/i386
(Debian stable) when I do '''not''' configure with `--optimize`. Most
recently, these failures have shown up in ''t/library/test_more.t'' and
have been reported on Smolder repeatedly. The failures on this file --
unlike the earlier failures on ''t/compilers/pge/pge_examples.t'' -- occur
regardless of whether I run the harness with `--gc-debug` or not; they
occur during `prove` as well.
For well over two years I have been smoking Parrot on this box, always
with simply `perl Configure.pl --test --configure_trace` -- ''i.e.,'' with
no optimization or fancy stuff. The past three weeks have been the
longest period in that time during which I have been unable to get a 100%
`PASS` from `make test` on that box.
Thank you very much.[[BR]]
