--- Comment #1 from Olli Salli <ollisal at gmail.com> 2010-08-22 08:28:30 PDT ---
The branch fixes races identified thus far, and also adds a script to repeat
tests for a given number of times, saving the logs for the failed runs. This is
useful for detecting intermittent test failures which stem from race
conditions.

Once this is merged, it probably should added to the release procedure to do
tools/repeat-tests.sh check 100 and tools/repeat-tests.sh valgrind-check 10 (or
more, but it takes a lot of time) to identify potential racy tests. The
valgrind variant is useful because the tests run a lot slower under valgrind,
so some types of race conditions become much more common due to the altered
timings.
