A subset of the LiveRangeUnitTests (SplitInvalidPreStart, InvalidSplitEnd, SplitInvalidPostEnd) fail or hang on AIX in release mode. These tests fork a child which is expected to crash in register-allocator code after feeding in bad inputs. In debug mode, they behave as expected due to hitting a debug assert. In release mode, however, the tests rely only on the fact that dereferencing a null pointer will cause a SEGFAULT. This is true on most platforms, but not AIX. An AIX process has valid low memory pages mapped for reading and will not fault. Thus, these tests fail or hang because the child process survives the load from address zero and either completes (with undefined results) or goes into an infinite loop.
