Description
At Alexey's Git machine we observed a strange behavior of the ps command invoked by timeout script:
Signal 1 (HUP) caught by ps (procps version 3.2.8). Please send bug reports to <feedback@lists.sf.net> or <albert@users.sf.net> Fail: Bad close ps: at /home/tester/ldv/opt/bin/../shared/sh/timeout line 224.
This was the staging/comedi/drivers/ni_pcidio.c driver on commit 02f8c6aee8df3cdc935e9bdd4f2d020306035dbe, rule 32_7. Timeout script has detached blast and failed, blast being left running forever.
Given that ps was executed approximately 25 million times during the run, any darkest corner has a good chance to be hit.
Alexey proposed to account for such potential failures, and keep running if the failure occurred just once.
