Package: locales
Version: 2.3.2.ds1-20
Severity: normal
According to the spec, mbrtowc(&wc, buf, 1, &st) should either return 1
and set wc, or return 0, (size_t)-1 or (size_t)-2. In this locale it
returns either 0 or 1, but doesn't always set wc in the latter case,
as the following test program shows. I believe it should be returning
(size_t)-2 (incomplete encoding) for (most) letters, and setting wc in
all the other cases (except \0).
(In iconvdata/tcvn5712-1.c, this decoding is treated as stateful, but
I don't think it should be.)
This behaviour sends readline into an infinite loop in this locale.
