I got successful builds and validations last night on more than 20
flavors of Unix for the new gzip-1.5 release, and installed them this
morning.
However, on FreeBSD 9.0 and NetBSD 5.1 (both x86), multiple builds
have gone into infinite loops at the same point, running for hours
until I killed them this morning:
PASS: helin-segv
make[4]: *** Deleting file `help-version.log'
make[4]: *** [help-version.log] Terminated
Terminated
PASS: helin-segv
FAIL: help-version
The attempt this morning used
set path=(/bin /usr/bin)
env CC=cc ./configure && /usr/local/bin/make all check
The top utility shows the loop is happening in a bash process. Here
is an example from a restarted "make check":
make output:
PASS: helin-segv
top output:
PID USERNAME THR PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE TIME CPU COMMAND
80442 beebe 1 201 0 3732K 2092K RUN 0:27 99.89% bash-4.2
A gdb traceback of the bash process is probably of little use, but
here it is anyway:
(gdb) where
#0 0x080a3ae0 in sh_xmalloc ()
#1 0x0807a41b in string_list_internal ()
#2 0x0807a570 in string_list ()
#3 0x08063396 in execute_case_command ()
#4 0x0805fad0 in execute_command_internal ()
#5 0x0805f143 in execute_command ()
#6 0x08063752 in execute_while_or_until ()
#7 0x08063635 in execute_while_command ()
#8 0x0805fb03 in execute_command_internal ()
#9 0x0805f143 in execute_command ()
#10 0x0804dc91 in reader_loop ()
#11 0x0804bd48 in main ()
On both machines, the bash version is 4.2.0(1), the same as on most of
our other systems.
