Ross Lagerwall added the comment: I can't actually remember why I disabled waitid for OS X - that was message was rather a long time ago :-(
Unfortunately, I don't currently have access to an OS X machine to test it. A google search shows the following comment in the v8 javascript engine: // We're disabling usage of waitid in Mac OS X because it doens't work for us: // a parent process hangs on waiting while a child process is already a zombie. // See http://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=401. Do you have access to test an older release like Leopard? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10812> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
