Обсуждение: Should we disable Solaris using Unix Domain Sockets in the regression test?

Hi all,

Did anyone ever figure out why Solaris boxes had those random failures
during the regression tests?

If no, then should we ensure the regression test on Solaris run's over
TCP instead (like BeOS and QNX do)?  To do this is a one-line fix in the
shell script.

Regards and best wishes,

It should be better now that listen() is being called with a larger
number.  The basic problem is that Solaris actually honors the
listen() backlog argument, and if more than that many Unix socket
clients attempt to connect simultaneously, some are rejected
immediately.

Cool.
