Recent test failures

[Peter Firmstone <pe...@zeus.net.au>]

I've been using jenkins to try and improve platform support, for microsoft windows, unfortunately some of the changes, although minor have destabilised other platforms.

I'll roll back the changes over the weekend, so we're back to a stable codebase, then I'll attempt to resolve the platform specific issues on a windows development machine.

Any tips for developing in a microsoft env would be appreciated, I'm not using cigwin, however I'm able to build and run the qa tests, no luck getting jdb to work though.

Cheers,

Peter.

Of course, one of the primary issues on Windows is the limit on the number of network connections which can be active.  When the limit is reached, network connections return with an RST reply to TCP-SYN packets.  I'm not sure about what happens with too many bind attempts.   I haven't see this happen and taken not of the circumstances.
