Hmm. I installed bash-3.2.33 but could not reproduce the problem with a
normal gnulib-tool invocation.
What is join --version ?
Can you save the inputs of that incriminating pipe and see if they contain
something particular? Like this: Before line 1512, insert
if test -f /tmp/gldbgcounter; then dbgcounter=`cat /tmp/gldbgcounter`; else
dbgcounter=0; fi
echo "$handledmodules" > /tmp/gldbg$dbgcounter-input1
cat "$tmp"/queued-modules > /tmp/gldbg$dbgcounter-input2
expr $dbgcounter + 1 > /tmp/gldbgcounter
then perform the usual gnulib-tool command again. Can you see a pattern among
the
/tmp/gldbg* files?
For which value of i does
foo=`cat /tmp/gldbg$i-input1 | LC_ALL=C join -v 2 - /tmp/gldbg$i-input2`
print "echo: write error: Broken pipe"?
