Did you pull the latest master? The last patch I sent is against that. >> The cut.pl test is now failing on master. Could you have a look. > I had no problems. Could you show me your output? Ah the failures are in tests I added in the meantime: http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=coreutils.git;a=commit;h=51ce0bf8 Specifically this is now only outputting the first field, rather than both fields like it should: printf '%s\n' a:1 b:2 | src/cut -s -d: -f1,2 >> Also could you add a test (or just a bit of shell) to demonstrate >> which options the memory is not allocated for example. >> Ideally some pathological option combo that no longer >> allocates huge amounts of RAM. > $ echo a | cut -b1-$(echo '2^32-1'|bc) > cut: memory exhausted Ok cool, I was just ensuring I didn't miss anything. > Could you please write the test? It seems that I should use $limits > but I don't know how exactly :-). Thanks. I'll write a test based on: (ulimit -v 20000; : | cut -b1-$((2**32-1))) || echo fail thanks, Pádraig.
