Hi guys!
I believe I’ve finally found the frustratingly die-hard "Child Process Not Responding" bug. The bug seems to have been two mismatched timeouts, so that if the child process took more than 10 seconds to start, it would give up, but at the same time the watchdog code waiting for it would wait 2 whole minutes before realizing that the child process gave up long ago. The solution was simply to make sure both timeouts were 2 minutes. Finding the problem, on the other hand… Not quite so simple.
This has been a major issue with Breakaway — particularly because it often happened when you put the computer to sleep. I sincerely hope this is the last I’ve seen of that particular issue!
Apart from that, I’m setting up a dedicated Windows 7 system as a new development/testbed for Breakaway. Once that’s done, we’re ready for a new release — and it will be a big update this time, with new presets, many issues fixed, and the new FM mode!
Thank you everyone for waiting so patiently.
Best regards,
