A number of people (at least me, cworth, and ajax) have been hitting a bug where tests randomly fail with a "Bad file descriptor" error. It only occurs with Python 2.7.4 and 2.7.5. Other people have strangely not been affected.
I did some searching and discovered this Python bug: http://bugs.python.org/issue18851 Apparently, it looks like a known bug in Python, where if a subprocess.Popen fails in one thread, it closes the file descriptors out from under subprocesses in other threads. A fix landed in Mercurial back in August, so hopefully things will work with Python 2.7.6. According to the release schedule [http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0373/] RC1 is supposed to come out this Saturday, with the final release on November 2nd. In the meantime, using Python 2.7.3 works, as does running with the -1 (--no-concurrency) option. --Ken _______________________________________________ Piglit mailing list Piglit@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/piglit
