Could SMP be involved? Do you get the same on a non-SMP system? Do others have the same problem with SMP systems?
Yup, it looks like that is a possibility. I tried test_fork1 a few times on: [trentm@ladder src]$ cat /proc/version Linux version 2.2.14 (root@ladder.ActiveState.com) (gcc version 2.95.2 19991024 (release)) #1 Mon Mar 6 16:49:17 PST 2000 (a Mandrake box)... and it works fine: [trentm@ladder src]$ ./python Lib/test/test_fork1.py [trentm@ladder src]$ ./python Lib/test/regrtest.py test_fork1 test_fork1 1 test OK. [trentm@ladder src]$ So...... who knows more about SMP issues and why we have them? I am inexperienced and clueless here. Trent -- Trent Mick TrentM@ActiveState.com
