Hi,
beside the already reported memory leaks, I've now two reports about
the ulimit builtin which fails in some cases if called within a
loop and one of the options -s and/or -n. In both bug reports scriptlets
like
#!/bin/ksh
while :
do
./testksh_ulimit.sh || exit 1
done
with testksh_ulimit.sh
#!/bin/ksh
ulimit -n || exit 1
this seems to be a bug in the structure type Limit_t as
the name "msgqueue" including the ASCII zero is longer
than name[8]. Indeed a patch from Li Bin seems to fix the
problem [see attachment]. The further discussion also
mentioned to use a char pointer instead of an array
which indeed should also solve the problem as all is
marked as const.
