threads branch: 'make test' hangs at 't/pmc/task_primes.t'

[James E Keenan]

Tonight I attempted to build and test the Parrot 'threads' branch for
the first time. Platform: linux/i386. I elected to configure with
'--optimize'. Build was successful, but 'make test' hung indefinitely
while running 't/pmc/task_primes.t'.

When I attempt to run that test by itself, this is all I get:

$ prove -v t/pmc/task_primes.t
t/pmc/task_primes.t ..
1..8

('make test' also failed t/src/checkdepends.t, but that's probably not
related to this problem and any number of us can fix that.)

Ideas?

Thank you very much.
Jim Keenan

t/pmc/task_primes.t does not work yet on threads since it uses task.'send'()
and the receive op which I have not yet fixed.

t/pmc/task.t may fail due to tests out of sequence, since it's not predictable
in which sequence the tasks run.

This has been fixed on master shortly after I did the last merge. There are a
couple of other codingstd problems, some of which look like they come from
master, some are my failures. Will fix them this evening.

examples/threads contains a couple of example programs. Currently they are the
best place to start from.

Thanks for trying thread!
