Dear Joao Eriberto,

In 1.3.4.1-13, you have introduced an improved autopkgtest that runs:

  dcfldd if=debian/tests/test.txt split=1000 of=$AUTOPKGTEST_TMP/test2.txt 
hash=md5,sha1,sha256,sha384,sha512

in order to more completely test the dcfldd functionality.

This test passes on amd64 in Debian and Ubuntu; however, Ubuntu runs
autopkgtests for all architectures, not just for amd64, and in Ubuntu this
new test is failing on i386 and armhf.  On i386:

autopkgtest [13:12:59]: test command1: [-----------------------
bash: line 1:  1030 Segmentation fault      (core dumped) dcfldd 
if=debian/tests/test.txt split=1000 of=$AUTOPKGTEST_TMP/test2.txt 
hash=md5,sha1,sha256,sha384,sha512
autopkgtest [13:13:00]: test command1: -----------------------]
command1             FAIL non-zero exit status 139

  (http://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/d/dcfldd/disco/i386)

On armhf:

autopkgtest [12:50:19]: test command1: [-----------------------
bash: line 1:   637 Floating point exception(core dumped) dcfldd 
if=debian/tests/test.txt split=1000 of=$AUTOPKGTEST_TMP/test2.txt 
hash=md5,sha1,sha256,sha384,sha512
autopkgtest [12:50:21]: test command1: -----------------------]
autopkgtest [12:50:24]: test command1:  - - - - - - - - - - results - - - - - -

command1             FAIL non-zero exit status 136

  (http://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/d/dcfldd/disco/armhf)

I've checked, and verified that this same test also fails with the prior
version of dcfldd, in the same way on each architecture.

On both archs, it's the 'split=1000' argument that causes the failure.

Since Debian doesn't run autopkgtests on architectures other than amd64, I
would suggest that you also run this test at package build time so that you
can detect such architecture-dependent breakage before the binary package is
shipped.

Cheers,
