Re: t/src/extend.t hanging, and a (probably not very good) patch
Hi, I'll look into what's involved with upgrading. I'm not sure if I'll elect to do it or not. It's probably the one major upgrade to a linux system that I've never done so I'd like to do it as a learning experience. At the same time, I've heard it can be painful. And downloading anything with the Internet connections I have in this country (Malaysia) *is* painful :-p Jeff On Sat, Jan 24, 2004 at 11:09:11PM -0800, chromatic wrote: On Sat, 2004-01-24 at 19:51, Jeffrey Dik wrote: glibc-2.3.1-51a according to rpm -q Interesting. I'm using 2.3.2. Do you have the opportunity to try out NPTL with a newer glibc and kernel? It may involve some pain, so that's fine if you'd rather not. (I'm in the same boat.) I'm just about ready to bring this up on the Linux PPC user list in the meantime. -- c

Putting a Parrot_exit(0); in front of the return 0;s caused all the t/src/extend.t tests to work. I had the same problems in t/src/intlist.t; and the same solution worked. After that all the tests in t/src worked. That sounds like the same issue. I tried the same tactic and it seemed to work.
