Random hangs, likely on waitpid
When running certain shells or complex scripts, the script will hang, and Ctrl-C will not exit. kill 1 {pid}
does work.
People have reported that for both fish
(Josh Megnauth) and zsh
(Wildan) it appears to be hanging on waitpid
. I have seen it when running os-test
, where it is using command evaluation:
mkdir -p -- "$(dirname "$OUT_PATH/$FILE")"
seems to be hanging after running dirname
.
If you do ps
, it shows the shell script running but no child processes.
The problem does not seem to occur when running with a single core.
