Just for the fun, I did a system tracing...

strace ../../../products/sqcogspurlinux/lib/squeak/5.0-201711262336/squeak TravisCI.image test.st  > tmp.log 2>tmp.trace
Then interrupted and quit the image

It's amazing how many time we stat/open the changes file...
grep changes tmp.trace | grep open | wc
   3027   15226  511279

sometimes, we open many .changes in a row and the file index keep increasing, like:

lstat64("/media/psf/Home/Smalltalk/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/smalltalkCI-master/_builds/2017_12_04_22_07_37/TravisCI.changes", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=10701044, ...}) = 0

This is the famous case when we can exhaust the maximum number of opened files...
I don't remembered if we installed a workaround at image side?
But obviously we do not behave so well with respect to external resources...

Then I see patterns where we read .changes a few times every 2ms... like this:

It's not the good way to find the bug, bt it's interesting...

Hi Fabio,
no, I opened the test image --headfull and it is blocked in tests:

MCMockPackageInfo(PackageInfo) changeRecordForOverriddenMethod:

with parameter: a MethodReference MCMethodDefinitionTest >> #override

This is invoked from MCMethodDefinition>>tearDown.

It is blocked in this infinite loop:

        [file position < (position-1)]  "then pick it up from the front"
            whileTrue: [chunk := file nextChunk].

here file position is 0, and inst. var. readLimit is 0 too...
So nextChunk invariably return '' and the position does not advance.

Why is readLimit 0???
The file is TravisCI.changes and I can open and read it normally in the FileList.
The problem comes from SourceFiles which already has an incorrect readLimit set to zero (image attached)

It remains to discover how this ever happened, and why only in linux...

Hi Nicolas,
Is it possible that this was related to this:

Best,
Fabio

Hi,
for quite some times the travis build for linux32x86 times out during the .travis_test.sh phase.

It's very hard for me to build a 32bits vm from 64bits ubuntu (14.xx). So I've tried with a 32bits VM (debian9), changed to opensmalltalk root directory of my working copy, and

export ARCH="linux32x86"
export FLAVOR="squeak.cog.spur"
export TRAVIS_BUILD_DIR=`pwd`
export TRAVIS_OS_NAME=linux
./.travis_build.sh
./.travis_test.sh

The tests effectively seem to block with 100% CPU.

So I performed a few stack dump via kill -USR1, and it seems that tests are stuck in a very long operation, here is one of the samples:
