We experience a lot of failures with ast-ksh 2012-09-27 on Suse 12.2 Linux and latest Fedora: test arith begins at 2012-09-28+08:51:50 arith.sh[420]: compound var arithmetic failed arith.sh[421]: compound var arithmetic failed arith.sh[422]: compound var arithmetic failed arith.sh[423]: compound var arithmetic failed arith.sh[424]: compound var arithmetic failed arith.sh[425]: compound var arithmetic failed arith.sh[426]: compound var arithmetic failed test arith failed at 2012-09-28+08:51:50 with exit code 1 [ 201 tests 1 error ] test attributes begins at 2012-09-28+09:19:32 attributes.sh[128]: attributes not cleared for script execution attributes.sh[133]: typeset -L should not be inherited test attributes failed at 2012-09-28+09:19:34 with exit code 1 [ 110 tests 1 error ] test attributes(shcomp) begins at 2012-09-28+09:19:34 shcomp-attributes.ksh[128]: attributes not cleared for script execution shcomp-attributes.ksh[133]: typeset -L should not be inherited test attributes(shcomp) failed at 2012-09-28+09:19:36 with exit code 2 [ 110 tests 2 errors ] test basic begins at 2012-09-28+09:19:36 basic.sh[165]: script not working basic.sh[171]: output file pointer not shared correctly basic.sh[198]: builtin replaces standard input pipe basic.sh[204]: $0 not correct for . script basic.sh[211]: nested scripts failed basic.sh[215]: scripts in subshells fail basic.sh[350]: piping into script fails basic.sh[359]: script pipe to shell fails blabla We've traced this down to the nonconforming glibc/Linux implementation of posix_spawn() - disabling it cures the problem on Linux. I crosschecked with the AIX build - it uses posix_spawn() the same way but without triggering any failures. I think this is a follow-up to http://marc.info/?l=ast-developers&m=134785274012526&w=2 - I can't agree with the assertion of Redhat's Michal Hlavinka that glibc posix_spawn() is right, because the current behaviour is IMO useless for use in a shell (hence the failures in the testsuite), and think a fix in glibc is still required.
