Subject: [Rd] error in parallel:::sendMaster
Message-ID: <E1icTIm-0004VX-EO@rmmprod05.runbox>

Hi all,

With the help of Tomas, I was able to track the issue down: Prior to R v3.6.0 the parallel package passes an uninitialized variable as the file descriptor argument to the close system call. 

In my particular R session this uninitialized variable (reproducibly) was holding the value 7, which corresponded to the file descriptor of the write end of the pipe the second child would use to send its results to the master. Hence, the child unintentionally closed this pipe directly after fork in close_fds_child_ci() resulting in sendMaster() later failing with EBADF.

It was fixed with this commit: https://github.com/wch/r-source/commit/e08cffac1c5b9015a1625938d568b648eb1d8aee

Regards,
Andreas

The "Error in partDF::write_partDF ..." is because the script/package checks the return value of mclapply and detects that it is not a list of length 85 with only the elements "TRUE".
