Description

Describe the bug
I'm seeing this very frequently on FreeBSD when running swift test in swift subprocess:

error: Process '/root/swift-subprocess/.build/x86_64-unknown-freebsd/debug/swift-subprocessPackageTests.xctest --testing-library swift-testing' exited with unexpected signal code 13

Interestingly, --no-parallel seems to avoid it.

To Reproduce
Clone swiftlang/swift-subprocess and run swift test

Expected behavior
No crash.

Environment (please complete the following information):

  • OS: FreeBSD 14.3 x86_64
  • Swift version: 6.3-dev (LLVM 972b62858355d07, Swift 3f8c798cfe25bbb)

Additional context

Research direction

Clone swiftlang/swift-subprocess and reproduce the failure with swift test on FreeBSD 14.3 x86_64 using the reported Swift 6.3-dev toolchain. Compare the parallel run with --no-parallel and investigate the test execution path; done means parallel tests complete without signal 13.
