Andrew I MacIntyre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: On FreeBSD 7.0 amd64, applying Mark's patch does get the test to pass.
As noted on python-dev, the response I got from the author of the new malloc() package in FreeBSD 7.x indicates that as of 7.1 the allocator defaults to using sbrk() rather than mmap() (strategy selection is tunable with an environment variable) so the problematic behaviour should be masked once 7.1 is released. Martin: I'm missing something regarding your comment about the failure message - the exception text seems literally correct (though not particularly useful), though I haven't spent a lot of time trying to understand how test_array works. What would you suggest? _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3862> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
