Description Denis Roy CLA 2011-03-09 16:08:55 EST 
Jobs seem to complete, yet Hudson keeps them in the executor thread, tying up the server.
Comment 1 Denis Roy CLA 2011-03-09 16:09:17 EST 
Removing cross-project.
Comment 2 Denis Roy CLA 2011-03-09 16:50:18 EST 
The stalls seem to have started occurring recently.

Recent Hudson changes include the timeout plugin (and settings in some/all projects) and the Distributed Workspace Cleanup plugin (and its usage in some/all projects).
Comment 3 Denis Roy CLA 2011-03-09 17:00:35 EST 
With the workspace cleanup plugin enabled, is it possible that it's looking for hudson-slave2 (and stalling)?
Comment 5 Denis Roy CLA 2011-03-09 17:07:59 EST 
I've disabled the Distributed workspace plugin and restarted Hudson.  One job seems to be running now, and it's not stalled at start like the others were.
Comment 6 Denis Roy CLA 2011-03-10 08:39:48 EST 
Looks like the Distributed Workspace plugin was the culprit, as things seem to be running smoothly now.

We'll leave it disabled until after Indigo has shipped or until we run out of disk space, whichever comes first.

good catch. 
Should a bug be opened against hudson/plugin?
