This commit removes the simple/test-event-emitter-memory-leak test for
being unreliable with the new garbage collector: the memory pressure
exerted by the test case is too low for the garbage collector to kick
in. It can be made to work again by limiting the heap size with the
--max_old_space_size=x flag but that won't be very reliable across
platforms and architectures.
This reverts commit 92f5a5d3ca.
V8 3.7.1 in debug mode on ia32 has a curious race-like bug where an fs.Stats
object is not fully formed until some time after it's created. This is easy
to demonstrate by running `make test-debug`.
V8 3.7.0 does not exhibit this behaviour so back we go.
Fixes#1981.
There are serious performance regressions both in V8 and our own legacy
networking stack. Until we correct our own problems we are going back to the
old V8.
