From: Alex Legler Date: 2010-03-06T17:27:29+09:00 Subject: [ruby-core:28531] [Bug #2739] ruby 1.8.7 built with pthreads hangs under some circumstances Issue #2739 has been updated by Alex Legler. If it's any help: I can confirm this issue on Gentoo as well. After 10-200 iterations, the timeout occurs. glibc 2.11, ruby 1.8.7 (2010-01-10 patchlevel 249) [x86_64-linux] On a machine with glibc 2.9 on the other hand, I can run the reproducer for minutes w/o any failure. ---------------------------------------- http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/2739 ---------------------------------------- http://redmine.ruby-lang.org
