[New-bugs-announce] [issue7272] test_multiprocessing fails consistently with 'signal 12' on FreeBSD 6.2 buildbot.

[Mark Dickinson]

New submission from Mark Dickinson <dickinsm at gmail.com>:

The x86 FreeBSD buildslave is consistently aborting the test run with a 
'Signal 12' failure in test_multiprocessing.  See e.g.,

http://www.python.org/dev/buildbot/builders/x86%20FreeBSD%20trunk/builds/2
756/steps/test/logs/stdio

(scroll all the way to the bottom to see the failure).

The failure occurs on 2.7, 3.1 and 3.2.  On 2.6, it looks as though 
test_multiprocessing is disabled:  the message gives a reference to issue 
3770.

Note that the maintainer of the buildbot (David Bolen) has offered to 
arrange ssh access for anyone wanting to look into this.  (See

.)
