What happens if you explicitly set the test number to what it should be?
if ( !defined( my $child_pid = fork() ) ) {
diag "Cannot fork: $!";
}
elsif ( !$child_pid ) {
ok 1, 'in the child';
shmwrite( $id, $test->current_test, 0, 60 ) or die $!;
}
else {
waitpid( $child_pid, 0 );
shmread( $id, $test_num, 0, 60 ) or die $!;
$test->current_test( 3 ); # <---------------- hard wired
ok 1, 'in the parent';
}
Just to see what happens.
