Package: gzip
Version: 1.3.9-1
Severity: important
It seems that zdiff hangs forever in case like:
$ bash -x /bin/zdiff /usr/share/info/gzip.info.gz
/usr/share/info/gzip.info.gz
+ case $1 in
+ :
+ case $1 in
+ :
+ case $1 in
+ :
+ case $1 in
+ :
+ case $1 in
<infinite loop>
The offending code, which never hits "break", is:
37 while :; do
38 case $1 in
39 --h*) echo "$usage" || exit 2; exit;;
40 --v*) echo "$version" || exit 2; exit;;
41 --) shift; break;;
42 -*) OPTIONS="$OPTIONS $ARG"; shift;;
43 esac
44 done
