[gpk@bell-labs.com]

Full_Name: Greg Kochanski
Version: 1.5.2
OS: Solaris 2.6
Submission from: h-135-104-33-130.research.bell-labs.com (135.104.33.130)


Using a two-processor Ultra-2 running Solaris 2.6 with current patches.

CC='cc -mt' ./configure --with-thread --with-solaris

change OPT in makefile from -O to -xO3

fiddle with Module/Setup

make

make test

After that, test_popen2 fails.   All other tests succeed.
"test test_popen2 crashed -- exceptions.AssertionError : "

The same crash occurs when optimization is left alone.
A context diff between Module/Setup.in and Module/Setup follows:
