Package: linuxdoc-tools Version: 0.9.21-0.2 Severity: serious While building this package, it seemed to hang here:
Processing file ./guide.sgml
gawk: /tmp/18741/linuxdoc-tools/info.awk:31: warning: escape sequence `\{'
treated as plain `{'
gawk: /tmp/18741/linuxdoc-tools/info.awk:32: warning: escape sequence `\}'
treated as plain `}'
top showed that gawk was spinning, and eating increasing memory. I eventually
killed it ater 10 minutes of runtime and 300 mb of memory consumed. AFAIK
it was going to grow forever. I think your awk script is broken.
Here's the process that hung:
18845 pts/4 R+ 6:29 /usr/bin/gawk -v INFO=guide.info -f
/tmp/18741/linuxdoc-tools/info.awk
/tmp/18741/linuxdoc-dir-18835/sgmltmp.guide.info.1
I have gawk version 1:3.1.5-1 installed.
BTW, Makedoc uselessly hardcodes the path to sleep incorrectly here:
function abort()
{
/usr/bin/sleep 1; /bin/rm -rf $TMPDIR; exit 1
}
