Technically I totally agree on that.

Thanks.
I wanted to keep this particular test active instead of just skipping that 
one. That's because flightgear which I am working on is relying on that in some 
more advanced configurations.
So instead of opening an other todo on my already too long todo list I wanted 
to just keep this particular test active in the testsuite. And introducing 
this point fix just took me 10 minutes including the mail.

An other thing that would help me could be that you just disable this test for 
llvmpipe which is known not to be thread safe... I would like to keep this 
test active for r600g which suffers from the same llvm type problems but 
currently works at least, and I hoped to help not to regress this by providing 
this test.

Ok, while we are at this:

I found one occurance of os.execv in framework/shader_test.py and three of 
Popen in framework/{glsl_parser_test.py,exectest.py,core.py}.
Do you know which ones of these are actually used for the tests in question?
Any hint which one to change?

Greetings
