Subject: bug#29335: 'guix publish' workers occasionally crash
Date: Fri, 17 Nov 2017 11:10:49 +0100

Hello,

On berlin I’ve noticed that the ‘guix publish’ workers would
occasionally stop working: the main thread would keep replying to HTTP
requests, but the worker threads would no longer do anything, and would
leave behind them a bunch of .tmp files in /var/cache/guix/publish.

I captured the output of ‘guix publish’ (guix-0.13.0-8.357ab93) and the
only clue I have is this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
GET /6kl9ydqmgklcqhxswg6v5isq5n1ih5gp.narinfo
In guix/workers.scm:

ERROR: In procedure make-stack:

… where 9 is EBADF.
