Very strange.

After the new release I instantly fetched the tarball and began a build
on two different SPARC servers. Both run the same version of Solaris 10
however one is quite old and a baseline UltraSPARC II type processor.
Very stable. Gets the job done. Run ISC Bind wonderfully well. The other
is a much larger 128 core Niagara SPARC T2 server and it runs many many
things. Both have fairly full stacks of open source software and Curl is
a pretty critical piece of the puzzle. Essential in fact.

So the Niagara class server did the build and the testsuite wonderfully
with flying colours and I simply did the install. Great.

The older SPARC server did the build in twice the time ( yep, clock
speed isn't everything in the SPARC world ) and the testsuite has been
running now for 26 hours 52 minutes and 37 seconds fully wedged on test
0575 where the last line I see looks like :

test 0574...OK (404 out of 984, remaining: 12:46)
test 0575...

Also a ps shows a really massive number of "defunct" processes.

So I hit CTRL-C over and over. The things ends like so :

test 0576...FAILED
test 0578...FAILED
test 0579...FAILED
test 0580...FAILED
test 0581...FAILED
test 0584...FAILED
test 0585...FAILED

.
test 0704... exit FAILED
test 0705...Somebody sent me a SIGINT at ./runtests.pl line 336.
runtests.pl received SIGINT, exiting
gmake[1]: *** [quiet-test] Error 2
gmake: *** [test] Interrupt
time: command terminated abnormally.

real 96757.03
user 0.00
sys 0.00

Also all the defunct processes vanish neatly in a puff of smoke.

So I guess the question is, on a slower older system do I need to grant
special considerations or perhaps indicate the the timeouts on a test
should be extended or any thoughts ?

Here is what configure looked like :

The compile goes smooth but the tests get wedged .. badly. However only
at test 575 and only on this old SPARC server.

Any thoughts ?
