Perhaps there are some hints here. You are using external power (non-parasytic) and a DS18S20? The code is supposed to lock the device (use a mutex to exclude other threads from that chip) issue a CONVERT command, wait 1sec, then read results. If it's functioning correctly, the only reason that

Curiouser and curiouser. So your tests are A -- single loop against DS18S20 sensor A A+A -- two processes against sensor A AB -- single loop against sensors A and B AB+AB -- two processes each AB style Only AB+AB fails? And the failure is after a number of readings? Are A and B different? One

I just did a csv co, bootstrap, and now I run configure with ./configure --disable-owphp --disable-owperl --with-python=/usr/local/bin/python2.4 But python doesn't get enabled. I know I've mentioned this problem on the list a while back, and finally resorted to hacking configure. But, has
