Description Guido Falsi freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2011-10-14 18:20:07 UTC 
This port was disabled on pointyhat due to runaway processes. I
tracked this down to a deadlock condition in some python multithreaded
code.

I "fixed" this by adding a small sleep (0.02 seconds, should not
slow down the build noticeabily). I'm aware this is not a proper
fix for a deadlock, and just makes it less probable. I'm not
experienced with multitheaded programming and have very superficial
knowledge of python, so could not find a better fix.

Please note that while this makes the deadlock condition not show
up on my machines I can't be sure it fixes the problem on pointyhat
until tested. I hope it does though.

added file:

files/patch-wafadmin-Task.py

How-To-Repeat: 
Trying to make the audio/xmms2 port on any 9.0-BETA machine. I only
tested this on SMP machines, maybe on single core machines this is
not going to show up.
