Hi Deri! I've triggered a forever loop in the scripts that produce the Linux man-pages PDF book.
I think the problem is in prepare.pl, since top(1) shows it stuck at around 100% CPU. It doesn't call anything groff internally, so it's just an issue in the perl code. However, it might be interesting to see if groff's internal scripts for building a PDF bug share the same problem. Since I'm clueless reading perl, I can't debug it. Deri, would you mind having a look at it? I've pushed a tag of the Linux man-pages repository where this reproduces (in 2 systems of mine). Try this tag: <https://www.alejandro-colomar.es/src/alx/linux/man-pages/man-pages.git/tag/?h=prepare_pl_works_forever> and run `make` (you'll want to run with -j to make it faster). Have a lovely day! Alex -- <https://www.alejandro-colomar.es/>
