Description Tom Henderson 2011-12-23 14:16:11 UTC

src/core/examples/main-random-variable.cc sometimes causes buildbot failures.  These transient failures were observed during 3.13-RC2 testing.  

On 32-bit Ubuntu 11.10 system, 
/waf --run "main-random-variable" &>a.txt

can cause 200MB-400MB of (gnuplot) output occasionally.  This can cause buildbots to time out due to unresponsiveness.  John Abraham observed this twice but after ./waf distclean, was not able to reproduce it.

For now, have disabled its automated testing in ns-3.13.  We should keep in ns-3-dev and pay more attention to this if it occurs again during the development cycle.

Possibly related to 1927?

The symptoms of this were different, and seem to have disappeared (also we have changed RV implementations since this bug was filed).

I propose to close this resolved/worksforme (OBE).

Comment 3 Peter Barnes 2019-11-04 17:32:26 UTC

While not strictly a duplicate, based on Tom's comment on symptoms, we have changed the random variable implementation, so this is certainly OBE.

Resolving as suggested by Tom.
