Is it possible that you have multiple tests running concurrently?  For
example, perhaps your test setup does not always kill servers (or
clients) from the old test and they prevent some servers from the new
test starting without you noticing? You can work around this problem by
disabling phase synchronization, but that is not a proper fix, of course.

Is it possible that you have more than ~30 Polygraph processes
participating in a test? There is a hard-coded limit (that we should
remove) in phase synchronization code. You can work around this problem
by increasing the limit (search for 37 in src/runtime/StatPhaseSync.cc)
and recompiling Polygraph. Please let us know if that helps!

Overlapping tests and more than ~30 processes are the known cases that
may cause those assertions in your Polygraph version.

Why are you using --worker if you are not running SMP tests?


Thank you,
