Description Allan Wang 2006-02-19 07:20:58 UTC 
After upgrading coreutils to 5.94, both my x86 server and x86 chroot on my local machine have broken exprs:

bestc ~ # expr match abc ab
expr: error in regular expression matcher: Value too large for defined data type

This breaks most ./configure's which error several times.

For some reason my amd64 machine still works fine.
