From: John Polstra To: sparc@freebsd.org Subject: Work-around for random CVSup/sparc64 failures Sender: owner-freebsd-sparc@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.org One person has reported a non-reproduceable CVSup failure on the sparc64 platform which produced this message: > *** > *** runtime error: > *** Value out of range > *** file "/s/scratch/jdp/ezm3-1.1/libs/libm3/src/uid/Common/TimeStamp.m3", line 63 > *** I am pretty sure this is a problem with the current thread switching code in the Modula-3 runtime system. It could produce various symptoms, including the above. As a work-around until I fix the bug, you should add an extra argument "@M3nopreemption" to the cvsup command line, like this: cvsup -L 2 supfile @M3nopreemption I'm fairly certain that will prevent the failures. Please let me know if it doesn't. John To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-sparc" in the body of the message
