[...]
is there a bug open on nose, any newer version that has a fix for it?
Here is the bug: https://github.com/nose-devs/nose/issues/817
No further activitity (neither on the bug nor on the repo) since my report
But I think this is a bug in python, either in the core or in the xml module used by nose. nose probably only trigger the issue in the underlying xml code written in c.
I fully agree with you that the core issue is probably elsewhere, most likely where you are suggesting. Unfortunately I don't know yet where exactly, so as starting point I notified the nose devs. Also, I wasn't yet able to pinpoint the segfault. So far AFAIU looks like a memory corruption which later let the VM crash badly. -- Francesco Romani RedHat Engineering Virtualization R & D Phone: 8261328 IRC: fromani
