Thank you!

Tested xenial, it now segfaults, so this fails testing.

Tested on Bionic, fixes the issue. Marking as verification-done-bionic

Tested on Eoan, fixes the issue. Marking as verification-done-eoan

Ignore comment #7, I tested with the wrong version in Bionic. The new version in Bionic segfaults, so this fails testing and should not be promoted.

Tested on Disco, fixes the issue, Marking as verification-done-disco

This bug was fixed in the package stress-ng - 0.09.57-0ubuntu5

---------------
stress-ng (0.09.57-0ubuntu5) disco; urgency=medium

  * Fix --timer-slack from consuming the following arg (LP: #1853832)
    Currently the timer slack option eats the next argument, causing
    missing argument parsing behaviour on the command line.
  * Fix mwc8() being reset when using mwc1() (LP: #1855851)
    Fic Psuedo-random 8 bit numbers from mwc8() accidentally

Thank you!

The re-test on armhf worked, so this has passed testing if I understand the update excuses page.

Thank you!

The above test failure is not a regression but an existing issue found with the testing because the allowable number of file descriptors limit has been increased and now trips the dup stress test failure during regression testing. I have a fix for this in, see bug 1873448

This bug was fixed in the package stress-ng - 0.09.25-1ubuntu8

---------------
stress-ng (0.09.25-1ubuntu8) bionic; urgency=medium

  * Ensure --aggressive mode terminates early (LP: #1858858)
    Add a waitpid NOHANG wait on each child process and if we get ESRCH
    on all the child pids we can terminate the loop early.
  * Fix --timer-slack arg handling (LP: #1853832)
  * Fix mwc8() being reset when using mwc1() (LP: #1855851)
    Fix Psuedo-random 8 bit numbers from mwc8() accidentally

The fix for this bug has been awaiting testing feedback in the -proposed repository for xenial for more than 90 days. Please test this fix and update the bug appropriately with the results. In the event that the fix for this bug is still not verified 15 days from now, the package will be removed from the -proposed repository.

This fails testing on Xenial, still segfaults. Should be rejected

The version of stress-ng in the proposed pocket of Xenial that was purported to fix this bug report has been removed because one or more bugs that were to be fixed by the upload have failed verification and been in this state for more than 10 days.
