Because to debug this we will want to see what is happening in the test. After building if you could send us the debug output from the test it would be good. env DEBUG=yes VERBOSE=yes make check -C tests/shred TESTS=exact Send us that output. It will show the details of the test. But if it the shred program core dumping then that would probably take a more detailed look at the shred program itself, if that is the one dumping. If you have the capability of running the debugger to find out why it is having a problem that would be good. But I suggest starting with the test details first.
