shepherd: FAIL: tests/close-on-exec.sh

make check TESTS="tests/close-on-exec.sh"

fails for me in shepherd.

it's the same with master, with v0.10.2, and with v0.10.1.

i didn't check other revisions.

You cannot enslave a mind that knows itself, that values itself, that understands itself.

hrm, i tried to reproduce it just now on the same machine, and i couldn't.

not sure it's relevant, but my router is overloaded, and sometimes DNS resolution, and other things break. looking at the test it shouldn't matter as it deals with the loopback device.

it has happened again, i'm attaching another log file.

this log file is with my shepherd branch, i.e. it contains much more log.

the error:

+ test 4 -eq 6

Hi,

Attila Lendvai <attila@lendvai.name> skribis:

Could you check whether it happens with current ‘main’?

The test is quite sensitive to anything that would open file

descriptors, as you can imagine.

Thanks,

Ludo’.

i ran a `make check` recently on main, and it ran clean.

it doesn't mean much, though, because it only failed sporadically.
