The headless simulation (tmux based, as used in cx-simtest.bash), makes use of rcll-refbox-instruct to start the game. Due to a bug in boost::asio::io_service, it might get stuck without instructing the refbox. The following workaround monitors the execution, retries after 2secs and repeats this for up to 10 times.

At first glance, this looks like a hack. What's the actual bug in boost asio? |
Yes I agree, it's definitely not a solution, just a workaround I've been using since August. Victor and I spent the good part of an hour trying to find what the problem is (described in the linked issue), but it is somewhere within boost. |

Maybe this helps? |
Looks somewhat promising, I'll look into it! Thank you! |
