Ah, we're talking about different things then. The patch in SF #900092
is not related to hotshot, it's just ceval.c not producing enough events
to allow a precise timing of exceptions. (Now that ceval.c is fixed, we
could remove a few hacks from profile.py, BTW.)
I am referring to a specific bug of hotshot which entirely drops some
genuine time intervals, all the time. It's untested code! A minimal
test like Floris' test_profile shows it clearly.
A bientot,
Armin.
