I realised that it might be simpler to reproduce the bug like that:
In /usr/share/quilt/quilt.make, replace
patch: $(QUILT_STAMPFN)
$(QUILT_STAMPFN):
# quilt exits with 2 as return when there was nothing to do.
# That's not an error here (but it's useful to break loops in crude
scripts)
QUILT_PATCHES=$(QUILT_PATCH_DIR) quilt --quiltrc /dev/null push -a ||
test $$? = 2
touch $(QUILT_STAMPFN)
by something like
patch: $(QUILT_STAMPFN)
$(QUILT_STAMPFN):
push () { \
export QUILT_PATCHES=$(QUILT_PATCH_DIR); \
quilt --quiltrc /dev/null push; \
r=$$?; \
return $$r; \
}; \
while push; do sleep 2; done; \
if [ $$r = 2 ]; then exit 0; else exit $$r; fi
touch $(QUILT_STAMPFN)
This will slow down the process enough for the problem to appear on an
ext2 filesystem. I tested it on an ext2 filesystem with 1.0.16-2, it
reproduced the bug (autotools installed, naturally).
