I can reproduce with that snapshot, but I get slightly different

thing is that even when I get errors, the task continues to run.  It
seems somehow that the return code of the errored run gets lost or
something.

Are you still using this script:


export C=1 while strace -o strace.$C.txt make -j ; do C=$(($C+1)) ;
done echo Failed after $C runs

If yes: The strace catches the errors.  I use a script without strace
and the while catches the error of the make command.


Do you actually have an strace which demonstrates the problem?  I
don't any indication that you've duplicated this problem running
strace with a "modern" snapshot.

I have reproduced the problem with a recent snapshot ('25), and strace, but I am only using a single strace output file, so it keeps going and over-writes the errored strace with the next run. I will run it tonight while preserving all strace logs, but I can only run for about 1500 iterations before I fill my disk. I hope it happens before that.


Is there any way to tell strace to mimic the return code of it's inferior process?
