Hi Team,

We had a strange situation on t0301. Subtests 9 and 24 hung while 22 failed. This did not happen either in rc1 or in a prior test run of the same commit. This is not the first time we have had issues with t0301 on NonStop, but it has been a year or so. The hangs seem to have been in the main git process waiting for the child to disappear. We do have occasional issues with deferred signals (mostly on the ia64 platform), so is this a surprise? Not really. The situation appears (gut feeling) timing related and where processes are distributed across logical CPUs - this is an MPP box. While this isn't going to hold up our release of 2.23.0 to the community, I was hoping for some wisdom on how this might be further examined.

Thanks, Randall
