Subject: [PATCH] t/ds-leak: fix race
Date: Sat, 29 Jun 2019 07:18:53 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190629071853.21833-1-e@80x24.org> (raw)

We need to ensure we run lsof on the sleep(1) process, and not
the fork of ourselves before execve(2).  This race applies when
we're using the default pure-Perl spawn() implementation.
