Hi, I managed to setup a test environment on Win32 (using strawberry perl - latest version).
Seems the problem is reproducible for me too. Simplified test looks like that: use Bugzilla; $pid = fork(); print "something [$pid]"; And this fails (print is never reached). Trying to call Bugzilla->usage_mode( USAGE_MODE_*** ); doesn't have desired effect since module needs to be initialized before that call. Only setting SERVER_SOFTWARE seems to prevent the problem from what I've tested so far. Or changing Bugzilla code. *** Root cause of the problem is changing stdout/stderr encodings in Bugzilla::Install::Util->set_output_encodings(). The deadly combination is something like that: # code page of console is somehow detected (used to be utf8 before) binmode STDOUT, ":encoding(cp866)"; defined ( $pid = fork() ) or die( "Can't fork: $!\n" ); # this is enough to crash perl when forking In scmbug point of view I don't think we want to change encoding to something like that at all. (I'm not sure what's best - maybe utf8 as it used to be) *** I think it would be best if we ask Bugzilla team for their opinion too: 1) Report the described behavior (Bugzilla is crashing fork unless SERVER_SOFTWARE is set) 2) Module initialization takes place before before usage_mode(...) so how to switch usage_mode then? 3) Which mode would be best for us to use /maybe new one/ Regards, Yavor 2011/3/6 Kristis Makris <[email protected]> > On Thu, 2011-03-03 at 12:48 +0100, Thorsten Schöning wrote: > > script?
