[ruby-core:36002] [Ruby 1.9 - Bug #4608] Ctrl-c to interrupt script causes hang and 100% cpu's core load

Issue #4608 has been updated by Jason Earl.


I filed a similar bug on Rail's lighthouse a few days ago too. I've found Natty in fact to be pretty bad in some areas regarding stablity, I really hope the Ubuntu team clean up the various issues soon (So anyone reading this, I suggest hold back from using Natty if you haven't installed it for a bit). I know the 2.6.38 kernel changed some scheduling bits, I'm not sure if this is what's triggering this.

This appears to be a process management / deadlock issue I think. If you manually install a kernel from Maverick (i.e. download the kernel + headers and use dpkg -i to install) it will prevent the issue, so this is a kernel change that has triggered this.

It takes a kill -9 to stop the process, so it's must be in some deadlock

I have got this bug after updating Ubuntu from 10.10 to 11.04 Beta.
Using shell commands like `echo anything` causes hang and 100% cpu's core load, if during downloading a file you press ctrl-c to interrupt.
Without using shell commands all right, we get "^CInterrupted"
In the Ubuntu 10.10 all right.
For a wonder autotest have got the same problem after updating ubuntu to 11.04 Beta: if I press ctrl-c to close autotest it hangs and loads 100% cpu's core

I'm waiting for such a result:
