#7993: ghc 7.6 (not 7.4) sometimes hangs at child process exit on s390x -----------------------------------+--------------------------- Reporter: cjwatson | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Runtime System | Version: 7.6.3 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Linux | Architecture: Other Type of failure: Other | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: -----------------------------------+--------------------------- Changes (by pmylund): * cc: simonmar (added) Comment: I am experiencing the same issue, but on x86_64, and with my own application which uses GHC (7.6.2) threads. On occasion a thread will loop forever, and give the same kind of output from strace. (Is it the same issue?) Unfortunately I don't know how to begin troubleshooting. Whatever I do to try to reproduce it in a smaller test, the problem goes away if I don't use the combination of threads, STM and exception handling that I have in my larger application. I will keep trying and report back, but any input is appreciated. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7993#comment:3 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
