| Subject: | The 03_run_forked.t test fails (sometimes) on HPUX |
The test sometimes fails with output like this:
# Failed test 'reading /home/gecko/APEE-5.14.4.1405.17-IA64.ARCHREV_0-LP64-11.23-cc-405146/tmp/UTZoovB2vV: run_forked output length [278529], backticks output length [286720]'
# at t/03_run-forked.t line 90.
Died at t/03_run-forked.t line 92.
This only happens sometimes, and it seems to be somewhat random. I'm guessing there's some sort of OS-level bug involved and that it's not something that can be fixed in the module code.
For now, we're applying the attached patch to just skip the relevant tests on HPUX.

Subject: [PATCH] Skip tests that heisenfail on HPUX
This may be related to the other patch we apply to fix
https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=91784, but it's not clear what
the actual problem is, and is almost certainly something deep in the OS.
