Reid Kleckner <r...@mit.edu> added the comment: Here's an updated patch for py3k (3.2). The test still fails without the fix, and passes with the fix.
Thinking more about this, I'll try summarizing the bug more coherently: When the main thread joins the child threads, it acquires some locks. If a fork in a child thread occurs while those locks are held, they remain locked in the child process. My solution is to do here what we do elsewhere in CPython: abandon radioactive locks and allocate fresh ones. ---------- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file17932/thread-fork-join.diff _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6643> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
