Comment 5 for bug 1979089

Hi Edward,

I'm no expert of l3ha, but in the hope of moving this bug forward, I have a suggestion and a question:

1) It's hard to work with a bug without having a reproduction method. With a race condition being the likely root cause of course everything is dependent on timing and is likely likely based on chance. When I face a bug like this I try the following: after having an idea of where the race is, I may have a hunch where to add a sleep() to open the race window intentionally wide. After adding a sufficiently big sleep() I find I can usually create a practically deterministic reproduction method. Could you maybe give a try to create a reproduction method like this?

2) Why does the failed spawn repeat infinitely? Is it because of the process monitor? As an idea for a workaround: could the process monitor exit when the failure reason is that the namespace does not exist?
