Description

cpudist tool fails/hangs after the first output when -L flag and interval for output is set.It just hangs and interrupting it causes a python error.I had built the tools from source following the instructions provided (Ubuntu 20.04). The tool works normally when flag and interval isn't specified.

Research direction

Start with the cpudist tool and reproduce the failure on Ubuntu 20.04 using the -L flag together with an output interval, comparing it with runs where either option is omitted. Done means cpudist continues producing output after the first result and interrupting it does not produce a Python error.
