New issue 2275: pypy segfault
https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/issues/2275/pypy-segfault
FredStober:
Hi, I have some code that *sometimes* crashes with a segfault when run with
pypy (tested with PyPy 2.2.1 from Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS and PyPy 2.5.0 as
installed on TravisCI). The issue does not appear when run with CPython.
I've reduced the program to the following short snippet of code:
```
#!python
import os, threading
def fun():
pass
if __name__ == '__main__':
thread = threading.Thread(target = fun)
thread.start()
thread.join()
pid, fd = os.forkpty()
if pid == 0:
os._exit(42)
os.waitpid(pid, 0)
```
Creating and joining the thread seems to be essential to trigger the issue -
replacing os._exit with sys.exit to run cleanup does not help.
Am I overlooking some issue with this code?
Cheers, Fred
