This happens 90% of the time now on c-c Linux debug xpcshell. Could something similar to bug 1080010 be done here?

Probably. Would need to go in http://hg.mozilla.org/build/buildbot-configs/file/tip/mozilla-tests/thunderbird_config.py. I'm not actively sheriffing or doing relengy type things in my spare time these days, so you'll need to find another victim, though :)

Naive guess of a patch.

Comment on attachment 8722952 [details] [diff] [review] Use two chunks for TB Linux debug xpcshell tests Review of attachment 8722952 [details] [diff] [review]: ----------------------------------------------------------------- if this passes checkconfig for you, ship-it. I can't test locally as I am at a work week. one thing I noticed is this will split xpcshell into two on all branches immediately. do you want this to ride the trains like ff did: https://hg.mozilla.org/build/buildbot-configs/rev/3701f9b8de82#l1.221 ?

If that's the case, does the differentiation I attempted between XPCSHELL and XPCSHEL_TWO_CHUNKS (and the restriction to Linux debug) make any sense or would it be better to simply use the two chunks version everywhere? > do you want this to ride the trains like ff did: > https://hg.mozilla.org/build/buildbot-configs/rev/3701f9b8de82#l1.221 ? I don't know enough to know the right answer to this question. If you're asking whether this failure also happens on aurora and beta, the answer is 'yes'.

Oh sorry, I misread 'branches' as 'platforms' here.

Pushing it to default for now to see if it passes.
