Has anyone else seen this? Ever since I upgraded from perl 5.6 to perl
5.8.0-2, I am no longer able to run automake or autoconf on my Win98
machine. Both of those invoke perl, and then hang, printing messages
such as:
406 [main] perl 614369 sync_with_child: WaitForMultipleObjects timed
out
307776554 [main] perl 614369 sync_with_child: WaitForMultipleObjects
timed out
620499865 [main] perl 614369 sync_with_child: WaitForMultipleObjects
timed out
This is also happening on WinME when I try to run either of
those programs with the new perl. Except I get something
along the lines of "failed to sync with child" instead of
WaitForMultipleObjects timed out. The net effect is the
same as you reported, though. I had to revert back to 5.6.1
because it was so bad. Rebasing does *not* work, nor do I
believe this to be a rebasing issue. I honestly think this
is the result of fiddling with the stack size during the
build (--stack,8388608) and non NT systems just don't like
it. I may be wrong...
Pierre, since you have WinME, are you seeing this as well?
Cheers,
Nicholas
