Package: coreutils Version: 8.13-3.1 Severity: normal User: debian-h...@lists.debian.org Usertags: hurd
Hello, Since some time, coreutils fails in split tests on hurd-i386. More precisely, these two: split/filter:55 split --filter="head -c1 >/dev/null" -n 1 /dev/zero split/l-chunk:39 split -n l/2 /dev/zero It seems that these two tests assume that split will stop by itself when given /dev/zero as input. It does so on Linux, because /dev/zero there has stat_buf.st_size equal to 0, and thus split does just one loop, but on hurd-i386 /dev/zero has stat_buf.st_size equal to LONG_MAX, and thus split just loops for a very long time. Posix doesn't seem to talk much about what should be done here, but it seems to me that coreutils tests should not assume size being zero, and for instance use dd to fetch only the required bytes from /dev/zero.
