The test added for issue #30703 crashes on some Unix buildbots (FreeBSD 9.x, OS X Tiger, AIX).

Example here:
http://buildbot.python.org/all/builders/AMD64%20FreeBSD%209.x%203.x/builds/275/steps/test/logs/stdio

As noted in the PR for that issue, some systems may have low resolution for setitimer(). For example, the FreeBSD man page says:

> Time values smaller than the resolution of the system clock are rounded up to this resolution (typically 10 milliseconds).

koobs, perhaps you would like to give me temporary shell access to that machine?

The process is even killed.

The stable buildbots seem fine now (problem fixed on FreeBSD 9, thank you Koobs!).

Hmm, that function only sends 20 signals in a row.  How can it timeout after 15 seconds?
msg297280 - (view) Author: Antoine Pitrou (pitrou) * (Python committer) Date: 2017-06-29 16:14
Hmm, it's not 15 seconds, it's 15 minutes...
msg297281 - (view) Author: Antoine Pitrou (pitrou) * (Python committer) Date: 2017-06-29 16:18
Ok, there's definitely something fishy here.  Look at the elapsed times:

0:16:33 load avg: 0.93 [281/406] test_ossaudiodev skipped -- running: test_signal (874 sec)
test_ossaudiodev skipped -- [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/dev/dsp'
0:16:59 load avg: 0.95 [282/406/1] test_signal crashed (Exit code 1)
Timeout (0:15:00)!


faulthandler claims that 15 minutes have elapsed, but only 59-33 = 26 *seconds* have!

x86 Tiger is fine too.
msg297283 - (view) Author: Antoine Pitrou (pitrou) * (Python committer) Date: 2017-06-29 16:31
David, would it be possible to have shell access to that machine?
msg297294 - (view) Author: David Bolen (db3l) * Date: 2017-06-29 18:54
Antoine, yes.  Send me your public key (db3l.net at gmail) and I'll set it up.
msg297302 - (view) Author: Antoine Pitrou (pitrou) * (Python committer) Date: 2017-06-29 19:56
Ok, the timeout on the "Ubuntu Shared" buildbot is due to https://bugs.python.org/issue30807
msg297359 - (view) Author: Antoine Pitrou (pitrou) * (Python committer) Date: 2017-06-30 08:32
It seems fixing https://bugs.python.org/issue30807 has fixed the remaining buildbot issues.  I will close once everything is settled.
