Hi, I'm new on this list, not sure if this is the right place for this, please redirect me if this is not on topic here. ;)
I am seeing issues with open3()/waitpid() calls when running the same code as multiple threads - this does not happen with a single thread running the code - i'm not sure why this happens, but i can reproduce it so there must be something wrong somewhere. ;) What am i seeing: 1) waitpid() sometimes returns the $PID for the child process (as if it was reaped) while the child process is still running. 2) waitpid() sometimes returns -1 instead of the correct values for the exit state of a child process while the child process ran perfectly fine. Again, all this only happens when running multiple 'threads'. Refer to https://8n1.org/raw/8750/71a3 for a codesnipet from the subroutine which runs as a thread which in turn spawns rsync. Besides these waitpid() issues, the threaded code seems to run just fine and no other abnormalities are found. This is Perl 5.14.2 with ithreads on Ubuntu GNU/Linux, AMD64. Perhaps this all sounds familiar to any of you? Please let me know if more input or code is required!
