1. the test used a POSIX-ism that failed if the shell did not "grok" POSIX extensions to Bourne.
2. If the license file size was a multiple of pagesize, then strlen() would seg fault. OTOH, neither of these would affect the pseudo macro processing: > It also fails with autogen 1:5.7.2-1 from sid: > > [EMAIL > PROTECTED]:/var/cache/pbuilder/build/5817/tmp/autogen-5.7.3/agen5/test/FAILURES# > \ > autogen -b license --no-def -T license.tpl > AutoGen aborting on signal 10 (Bus error) in state LOAD_TPL > processing template NULL file name > on line 0 > for function pseudo-macro (-1) > zsh: abort (core dumped) autogen -b license --no-def -T license.tpl It does appear though that once you have a failing example, it fails regularly. (You caused this by typing in the command, yes?). Maybe I can debug the issue with the contents of the FAILURES directory? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks - Bruce P.S. I'm curious: > Package: autogen > Version: 1:5.7.2-1 > Severity: serious > Justification: no longer builds from source yet I just noticed the "autogen-5.7.3" element in the path above. If you were using 5.7.3 and encountered this problem, then the fixes noted above are already in the sources you were working with.... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
