If you make parsing fail (e.g. add something like:
X := "${@d.getVar('MCMACHINES').split()[1]}"
to meson.bbclass, then run "while true; do bitbake -g bash; done"
it will eventually hang. It appears the cancel_join_thread() call the
parsing failure triggers, breaks the results_queue badly enough that it
sits in read() indefintely (called from self.result_queue.get(timeout=0.25)).
The timeout only applies to lock aquisition, not the read call.
I've tried various other approaches such as using cancel_join_thread()
in other places but the only way things don't lock up is to avoid
cancel_join_thread() entirely for results_queue.
I do have a concern that this may adversely affect Ctrl+C handling
but equally, its broken now already and this appears to improve
things.

Bitbake
BitBake is a generic task execution engine that allows shell and Python tasks to be run efficiently and in parallel while working within complex inter-task dependency constraints. One of BitBake's main users, OpenEmbedded, takes this core and builds embedded Linux software stacks using a task-oriented approach.
For information about Bitbake, see the OpenEmbedded website: http://www.openembedded.org/
Bitbake plain documentation can be found under the doc directory or its integrated html version at the Yocto Project website: http://yoctoproject.org/documentation
Contributing
Please refer to http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/How_to_submit_a_patch_to_OpenEmbedded for guidelines on how to submit patches, just note that the latter documentation is intended for OpenEmbedded (and its core) not bitbake patches (bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org) but in general main guidelines apply. Once the commit(s) have been created, the way to send the patch is through git-send-email. For example, to send the last commit (HEAD) on current branch, type:
git send-email -M -1 --to bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org
