There's already a comment right before the first call to getpid(). I thought about making it a function, but since it's such a kludge, it dropped the idea. I don't mind making it a function, though. As for calling this only on specific platforms, well, I don't know exactly which platforms are affected, so I stayed on the safe side (for example, is FreeBSD4 affected?). But I'd like first to make sure this works. IIRC, you have access to a FreeBSD6 box. Could you test it there and see if it works? I promise, I'll soon setup a clone to be able to test my patches on the buildbot. I just have to select "Server-side clone" on http://hg.python.org/cpython/# ? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12625> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
