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

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?

> 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 EST

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.
