Thanks for the report. Please tell us about the system and shell you're using. It looks like your printf (possibly the shell's built-in one) cannot handle usage like this: printf '%*s-a' 1000000 > a As for the diff above, with the "actual" diff output lacking the ".000000000" part of the time stamp, I suspect you'll benefit from running the test with bash. It seems like the test is somehow running your system's diff, rather than the one just build in src/. FTR, it's this test that is failing: returns_ 1 env TERM=dumb diff ---presume-output-tty --color=auto a b > out \ If you still have a problem when using bash, please include the output of running "make check VERBOSE=YES".
