        1:                               test-cryptonite: too many pending signals
Test suite test-cryptonite: FAIL

[crockeea]

Tests pass for me on Windows 10 and Ubuntu 18.04.

[ahibal]

I have EXACTLY the same output when I run:
nix-env -f https://github.com/obsidiansystems/obelisk/archive/master.tar.gz -iA command

system:
debian 9
Kernel Linux 4.9.0-8-amd64 x86_64
2.9 GiB memory
AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 6000+ × 2

"too many pending signals" is it because I have low memory?

[ryantrinkle]

I'm seeing these tests take a very long time (more than an hour), but I'm not sure whether that's related.

[ocheron]

Can those having BLAKE2 failure try removing flag support_aesni?
I suspect SSSE3 is not supported on old AMD processors.

[pvgoran]

I have this exact problem with the current master. When I rebuild and test cryptonite with --constraint="cryptonite -support_aesni", the problem goes away.

[pvgoran]

I re-posted this as #314, with more detailed description of the problem.

[ocheron]

Fixed in cryptonite-0.27 and now in Stackage Nightly.
There should not be error at runtime anymore with default flags, the cost is C compiler support being made more difficult for old versions.
