And my retriggers are inconclusive :-(

Mike, the test in test_nsIProcess_stress.js used to live in test_nsIProcess.js and was added by you in http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/5e3ddc9cd1c5

Please may you take a look at this? The failure mode doesn't given TBPL anything to match/show in the summary, so it would be really helpful to sheriffs (and people using Try who may not recognise the failure from the raw log) to have this fixed.

Thank you :-)

Just seems to be failing on Linux64 debug at the moment (though isn't run on Windows due to bug 676412). Full failure history at:

This makes no sense to me. Not only shouldn't the test kill xpcshell (it's only killing subprocesses), but it shouldn't prevent subsequent tests from running either. Ted, does the xpcshell harness abort when one test crashes/is killed?
Flags: needinfo?(mh+mozilla) → needinfo?(ted)
No, the harness handles that gracefully:
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/testing/xpcshell/runxpcshelltests.py#860

This looks like something is SIGKILLing the entire harness. Perhaps it's attracting the OOMkiller on Linux64 debug?
Flags: needinfo?(ted)
Oh, could there be a fork-bomb killer on the test slaves?
For the time being perhaps we should just skip this test on linux64 debug.
I'm not really sure what the root cause is, but skipping it here seems reasonable.

100/100 green runs on Try. Re-enabling.
