Martin Panter added the comment: This looks like an intermittent (1 in ~5) failure in at least the Open Indiana 3.5 and 3.x buildbots.
My guess is that fork() has failed, and because preexec_fn is in use, the code tries to call gc.enable() with the fork() exception already set. My patch adds a test and fixes that. Victor already fixed a similar error for the cleanup branch of subprocess_fork_exec() in Issue 22290. ---------- keywords: +patch nosy: +martin.panter stage: -> patch review Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file41193/preexec-fork.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25764> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
