Subject: | [Caml-list] signal handling problem |
Hi everyone, I have a rather complicated program which uses the C interface a lot, with lots of allocations from both Ocaml and C code. The program runs fine in byte code and native code, but the native version breaks down as soon as I add a trivial signal handler with a Unix timer: let _ = Sys.set_signal Sys.sigalrm (Sys.Signal_handle (fun s -> ())) let _ = Unix.setitimer Unix.ITIMER_REAL { Unix.it_interval = 0.25; Unix.it_value = 0.25 } I cannot locate the problem, nor reproduce the problem with a simpler program. I am running a rather old version of Linux (Suse 6.4, kernel 2.2.14) on PowerPC. Are there known issues with signal handling and old Linux on PowerPC? Should I upgrade and try again, or file a big and unspecific bug report now?
