Re: system call reliability

[Al Niessner]

It has been a while and I really have not had a lot of time to spend on
it, but I have a work-around for now. Turns out if you put 'usleep 500'
or some other sleep of non-zero size, it works just fine. I could not
find anything obviously wrong with octave while using gdb mostly because
the problem would never present itself. All in all, this may mean it is
a race condition in the system/kernel level. Can anyone reproduce the
problem on a non-linux platform?
