Hi, I tried my 'testspew' code (attached to the original bug report) with the patch posted by Daniel Jacobowitz. It still fails, but differently. Instead of failing as above after running for half an hour or so, it now fails deterministically in under a minute with the error:
ERROR: Expected 32960 (À ) got 1073741824 ( @) I ran it 100 times and it always failed at that point. I tried running it from 32959 instead of from 0 and it still failed at 32960, so presumably it is related to that data pattern. Of course, if the codebase has changed, the patch above may no longer be appropriate, but I thought I'd report my results anyway.
