517406 - mochitest-plain: random timeout during test_menuchecks.xul

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 512296

(Core :: XUL, defect)

Description

[Daniel Holbert [:dholbert]]

The test "test_menuchecks.xul" timed out (and aborting the mochitest-plain suite) on a Linux 1.9.2 tinderbox twice today.  This was in two consecutive cycles, and the only "guilty" changeset was a trivial build change ("Remove unneeded buildid directory", changeset c5e339ec8304)

The failing cycles were:
http://tinderbox.mozilla.org/showlog.cgi?log=Firefox3.6/1253209334.1253216783.2554.gz
http://tinderbox.mozilla.org/showlog.cgi?log=Firefox3.6/1253233587.1253242221.12648.gz

The failures look like:
{
89531 INFO Running /tests/toolkit/content/tests/widgets/test_menuchecks.xul...

command timed out: 300 seconds without output, killing pid 5235
process killed by signal 9
}

I initially mentioned this in bug 506038 comment 35, thinking it might be related (since that bug's about a similar timeout on a test in the same directory).  However, now that it's happened twice, I'm giving this its own bug.

Of course, it's possible the box just needs a kick, too.  I guess we'll see after the next cycle completes.

There seem to be two different types of failure here: the test times out and the process is killed as observed by Daniel; and the case where the test times out and is followed by a large number of test failures, as in this log, and Serge and Marco's logs.

This is a dupe of bug 512296, which was fixed on trunk. Someone should land it on branch I guess, I'll request approval.
