Re: [tex-k] Problem with trip trap test

I change also that to generate the correct paths.h (or at least one

It seems that the generation of the format (trip.fmt) is not working.
If I try to create trip.fmt according to the triptrap test:
./tex --progname=initex --ini <../../../texk/web2c/triptrap/trip1.in >tripin.fot
I *do* get a format file (135135 bytes) but the log file tripin.fot
is a bit strange:

Hi Norbert,
this is exactly the expected output, and I also get trip.fmt with 135135
bytes.
--------------------------
After that, running the next trip test fails with memory allocation. This
test is in principle:
./tex '&trip trip'
which produces:
This is TeX, Version 3.1415926 (TeX Live 2011/Debian)
fatal: memory exhausted (xmalloc of 18446744071564067984 bytes).
Ouchhhh....
Ouchhhh, indeed. This number is approx 2^64-2*10^9, so assuming you are on
x86_64, this could be -2*10^9 converted to size_t (which would be `long
unsiged int'). No idea where that negative number would come from.
Does anyone have an idea where the first problem comes from?
There is no first problem (except that possibly the content of trip.fmt
contains garbage).
