Bug 383985 – dev-libs/libpcre-8.13-r1 fails test RunTest

• Status: UNCONFIRMED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Markus Walter 2011-09-21 16:40:56 UTC]

On my hardened ~amd64 machine with gcc-4.6.1 libpcre-8.13-r1 fails its testsuite. The error is as follows. It stays the same using vanilla-gcc-4.6.1.

8.32 at an unstable Gentoo fails it too :

---- Testing 8-bit library ----

Test 1: Main functionality (Compatible with Perl >= 5.10)
  OK
  OK with study
  OK with JIT study
Test 2: API, errors, internals, and non-Perl stuff (not UTF-8)
./RunTest: line 459: 23302 Segmentation fault      (core dumped) $sim $valgrind ./pcretest -q $bmode $opt $testdata/testinput2 testtry

** Test 2 requires a lot of stack. If it has crashed with a
** segmentation fault, it may be that you do not have enough
** stack available by default. Please see the 'pcrestack' man
** page for a discussion of PCRE's stack usage.

ick - forgot to increase the stack before - please forget my comment.
