Description
The issue with intermittent failures due to latex/eps seems to be due to some sort of race condition / conflict due to latex + multiprocess in nose.
Running:
python tests.py -s --processes=8 --process-timeout=300 matplotlib.tests.test_backend_psmultiple times might fail the first time, but then subsequent runs (seem to) always work
rm -rf ~/.cache/matplotlib/tex.cache/
rm -rf ~/.cache/matplotlib/test_cache/
python tests.py -s --processes=8 --process-timeout=300 matplotlib.tests.test_backend_pswill fail semi-consistently
rm -rf ~/.cache/matplotlib/tex.cache/
rm -rf ~/.cache/matplotlib/test_cache/
python tests.py -s matplotlib.tests.test_backend_psnever fails.
