Bug 201542 – app-portage/genlop - genlop -c reprting emerge running on programs it isn't

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Portage Development

[Description Steve 2007-12-07 00:14:28 UTC]

When running genlop -c, it reports that portage is building more applications than it is.  The applications that it seems to be picking up in addition to anything that is currently building seem to be programs where the install was manually cancelled at some point with ctrl-c.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run genlop -c

Actual Results:  
problem recurrs - see attached files for output

Expected Results:  
reported one thing as building

I have worked out what the problem is, but not why it happened.  For some reason when the compile was cancelled, a process was kept running (sandbox) When i "killall -9 sandbox" genlop -c now repors as expected.
