One more thing… May 3rd, 2007
The Mac unit test machine, qm-xserve01 is currently set on a rapid-cycling debug mode in an attempt to catch a stack trace on exit. Feel free to take a look through the logs and fix any assertions you see there.

Rhymes with Orange May 3rd, 2007
Alternatively, “what’s that smell?”
There has been an awful lot of orange on the Windows 2003 and OS X unit test boxes lately. Mostly due to shut-down errors. If you see one of these boxes turn orange after a checkin, but no obvious failures in the suites (pass/fail/todo in mochitest and reftest), it’s likely because of one of these exit failures which you can see at the end of the log.
On Windows 2003, the failure looks like,
FAIL Exited with code 1280 during test run
It turns out that Error code 1280 is specific to Windows 2003 and happens when a thread is converted to a fiber one too many times. To help track down the cause of the error, I’m working with Ted Mielc… Ted Milcza… Milk… luser on IRC and setting up an Airbreak/Breakpad/crash reporter processor to try and capture and debug this error. Expect some downtime on qm-win2k3-01 while I’m setting this up.
PS, Apologies to the always-charming Ted Mielczarek whose name I had to look up for proper spelling.
PPS, kudos to jwatt for landing a set of SVG tests into the reftest suite this morning!
