Comment(by mabshoff):
The bug in my 3.8.3.spkg was actually not killing error* in ATLAS's build
directory on restart:
{{{
cd $CUR/ATLAS-build
if [ -f error* ]; then
echo "ATLAS failed to build because your system is too heavily loaded
to obtain accurate timing."
echo "Please restart the build by typing make, when the load on your
system has decreased."
exit 1
fi
}}}
That error message is wrong by the way since not every failure is due to
timing issues - even though these days for ATLAS 99.9% of the time an
error indicates a tolerance failure.
I still think an incremental restart is better than start from scratch,
i.e. think of being two hours into a tune on Sparc or Itanium and it blows
up. I have made this #5328.
