That's a happy accident. gnulib tests should not be worrying about glibc internals IMHO I notice the proposed glibc patch above has no associated tests? I presume there are glibc units tests that should be updated? >> as you wouldn't want to indicate a gnulib issue if you ran >> out of file descriptors on the system for example? > > Lets skip the test in case of EAI_SYSTEM && (EMFILE || ENFILE) then. There are many other things that could trigger here. thanks, Pádraig.
