For some reason, running new-run-webkit-tests on the webkit mac port is unstable with more than 4 threads in parallel. I think this is a problem w/ DumpRenderTree somehow.

When you say "unstable" you mean that tests fail? DRT crashes?

Mostly DRT seems to hang as if it's blocking on locks. I haven't attempted to debug it yet, but it seems very reproducible at least on my 8-core Mac Pro.

sample DumpRenderTree should give us some information as to what's going wrong.

You may be hitting the same issue that I hit when I did something like this. I fixed it in: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10906 To my memory, you just need to do something like this for each sepearate worker instance (it gave each DRT its own home directory): $ENV{CFFIXED_USER_HOME} = $testResultsDirectory . "/home" . WorkCrew::workerNumber();

Note that https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36899 may also fix this, as might https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33153 .

I am not currently working on this, nor do I expect to be in the near future, so I am disclaiming ownership in case someone else wants to take a look.
