"make test" makes 64-bit Linux incredibly slow

[mavam]

When running make test on a 64-bit Fedora Linux box with GCC 4.7, the system becomes unusable (and requires a reboot) when entering the spawn test case. The last output is:

run test__spawn ... 

How could I debug this further?

[Neverlord]

Hm, libcppa works like a charm on Ubuntu and Debian. Do you have any valgrind output? I'll setup a Fedora to investigate this issue.

Do use --disable-context-switching on Linux? I get normal test results if I do so.

[Neverlord]

No, I'm not using --disable-context-switching on Linux. Neither can I reproduce the bug:

Seems to work for me since upgrading to the latest unstable:
