Please try again, I think I fixed them.
Created attachment 174342 [details] Screen log showing attempted merge+test under both paludis and emerge Although you may have fixed the execution of the tests, the tests themselves are still failing for me, with signs of poor memory usage ( GLib Free complaints, backtraces, etc ). Had to use screen to capture this because stdout/stderr piping wouldn't work. The internal test log itself says it succeeded, ... although it clearly didn't.
Created attachment 174343 [details] Internal Log thinking everything is fine.
Sorry, After seeing the changelog, my attachements are more relative to #240496 , which, appears to still be unfixed. I hate it when I search for a bug and it doesn't show.
