Hi,
this is to mitigate a race condition in expect 5.45-7
(which will be fixed in 5.45-8) see this thread for details:
https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2017-07/msg00081.html
By increasing the match buffer size from 2000 to 10000
bytes we can avoid the fall-out due to the bug in expect,
while we have to wait for the next stable debian version.
Bootstrapped and reg-tested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.
Is it OK for trunk?
Thanks
Bernd.
