Hello,

Can someone try running the gdk-pixbuf-2.34.0 test suite with all of the dependencies (including optional) installed and report back here please? I just ran it, and am afraid to continue using the system I ran it on.

I found that "CVE-2015-4491 1 /pixbuf/cve-2015-4491/original" caused a memory leak, with 100% of my 4G of memory and 100% of my 8G swap taken up by the process it spawned. I let it continue and it finished after hanging the system for approximately 5 minutes and 15 seconds. Most of the other tests ran slowly or hung afterwards as well, making the time it took to run the tests somewhere in the neighborhood of 5 SBUs on this system. The timer had stopped counting when cve-2015-4491/original had run, so my system currently thinks it only took 876.9 seconds (3 SBUs), but I know (based on a stopwatch) that it took nearly 45 minutes to build. After the tests were finished running and the package was installed, I have been unable to use any of my shells since.

Example:

"renodr [/sources ]$ echo '20160607 gdk-pixbuf-2.34.0' >> /usr/src/package.lst"

bash: $'\302\211echo': command not foundpixbuf-2.34.0' >> /usr/src/package.lst

Can someone run it and tell me if its just an issue with my system, or if it is leaking/causing issues for everyone else? I'd like to know to file a report upstream if needed.
