#9284: shutdownCapability sometimes loops indefinitely on OSX after forkProcess -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Reporter: edsko | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.8.2 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Comment (by AndreasVoellmy): I've verified that the test case triggers the bug in my environment (OS X 10.9.4 with GHC HEAD) as well. FWIW, it seems that just sampling the process (i.e. using "/usr/bin/sample" in OS X) causes the stuck process to finish. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9284#comment:2 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
