Description Petr Šplíchal 2010-07-15 07:04:27 UTC 
Description of problem:

It seems that external watchdog is (randomly) killing (passing)
tasks. In two test tier jobs I've observed four such aborts. Test
finishes ok (in a few minutes, sometimes even seconds) but only
after 30 minutes it's killed and the rest of the job is aborted.

This is very badly hurting our tier testing, suggesting as a
high priority blocker.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
0.5.49

I made one change in Today's upgrade which should help this, it may fix it entirely.

Marian is going to make one more change on the harness side.

Please report back here any additional watchdog expires that should not happen.

Thanks!

Seems fine in the current Beaker. I've checked with those tests
previously aborted:

    /CoreOS/bash/Regression/bz190350-vi-mode-redo-insert
    /CoreOS/python/Security/CVE-2008-5983-untrusted-modules-search-path
    /CoreOS/perl/Regression/bz203357-buggy-regexp-in-Encode-Alias

and everything passed without any issue:

Thanks for the fix!
