Hi,
For those that are not on IRC, I have made a lot of progress on this
bug. The problem comes from the patch any/cvs-strerror_r.diff. However,
this patch looks ok, actually comes from upstream and fix a bug. It
seems it only triggers a lock bug on hppa.
FYI you will find below the part of the patch that causes the problem in
case of tst-regex. It's only a change in the locks type.
Cheers,
Aurelien
