Summary: sysctl test case failure 
Distribution: None
Originally reported in: None
Milestone: None
>Status: Fix Committed
Original bug number: 


Initial Comment:
The sysctl test case fails for me, from dbg.log:

expect: does "kernel.shmall\r\nkernel.shmmax[...]kernel.vsyscall64\r\n/@sysctl 
kernel." (spawn_id exp7) match regular expression 
"^\s*kernel\.shmall\s+kernel\.shmmax[...]kernel\.vsyscall64\s+/@sysctl 
kernkernel\.$"? no
expect: timed out
FAIL: sysctl kern should show completions

Note the difference in the end of the string to match and the end of the 
regexp, "kernel" vs "kernkernel". A quick hack that "fixes" this is to change 
"kern" to "kernel." in sysctl.exp, but that's not a good one, for example it 
will not work on FreeBSD where there are no sysctl variables starting with 
"kernel.", but there are "kern.*" ones.

FWIW, when I do "sysctl kern<TAB>", it lists a bunch of variables starting with 
"kernel." and then expands the prompt to "sysctl kernel." as it should, i.e. 
the actual completion appears to work correctly, only the test case doesn't 
work.

Freddy, any ideas how to fix this properly? Is it a test suite bug?
