New issue 38 by ondrej.h...@jetminds.com: When loading a lot of files, the
loading is stuck.
http://code.google.com/p/coverstory/issues/detail?id=38

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Have 300 files or more in one directory.
2. Open the directory.
3. CoverStory never ends the loading.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The files should be successfully loaded.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Current version from trunk (October 30, 2012). Mac Lion 10.7.5

Please provide any additional information below.

When debugging the code, the program is stuck in GTMScriptRunner class when
waiting for the result of the "gcov" script. I believe it is stuck because
the contents of standard error pipe are not read and the pipe is full. This
gets fixed if error ouput is ignored (redirected to CoverStory standard
error).
This error pipe overflows probably because of issue
http://code.google.com/p/coverstory/issues/detail?id=37.

Recommended fix - read error output periodically or redirect it to a file,
do not wait until the task is finished.

Yup, there is a bug for the deadlock on the problem in GTM:
