gcc-2.97 and bzip2
Hi,
I tried to compile bzip2 with gcc-2.97 and a test fails:
$ fakeroot apt-get -b source bzip2
[...]
Doing 6 tests (3 compress, 3 uncompress) ...
If there's a problem, things might stop at this point.
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH \
./bzip2 -1 < sample1.ref > sample1.rb2
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH \
./bzip2 -2 < sample2.ref > sample2.rb2
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH \
./bzip2 -3 < sample3.ref > sample3.rb2
bzip2: Caught a SIGSEGV or SIGBUS whilst compressing.
Possible causes are (most likely first):
(1) This computer has unreliable memory or cache hardware
(a surprisingly common problem; try a different machine.)
(2) A bug in the compiler used to create this executable
(unlikely, if you didn't compile bzip2 yourself.)
(3) A real bug in bzip2 -- I hope this should never be the case.
The user's manual, Section 4.3, has more info on (1) and (2).
If you suspect this is a bug in bzip2, or are unsure about (1)
or (2), feel free to report it to me at: jseward@acm.org.
Section 4.3 of the user's manual describes the info a useful
bug report should have. If the manual is available on your
system, please try and read it before mailing me. If you don't
have the manual or can't be bothered to read it, mail me anyway.
