According to Hydra: http://hydra.nixos.org/build/1114029
gnulib has something to do with the GNU RCS build breaking (actually, failing "make check"). The particular change is: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gnulib.git/diff/?id=3606b9&id2=122987 I think this is related to the thread beginning at: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2011-05/msg00269.html (Please correct me if i'm wrong.) If so, that means RCS was masking this bug all along, right? To debug, i will need to find out where a call to ‘fclose’ presumes (incorrectly) that the file position should be larger (further along) than it actually is. Right?
