#5046: test derefnull fails on OS X
---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
Reporter: gwright | Owner: gwright

Priority: normal | Component: Test Suite
Version: 7.0.2 | Keywords:

Os: MacOS X | Blocking:
Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Failure: Other
---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
On OS X, the `derefnull` test fails because the test driver expects an
exit code of 138 (SIGBUS) but the program exits with 139 (SIGSEGV). This
is probably some relic of the early days of OS X, when access to pagezero
gave a bus error instead of a segfault.
The behavior is now consistent with linux. The attached patch changes
`all.T` to reflect this.
With this change, running the `derefnull` test gives:
{{{
OVERALL SUMMARY for test run started at Thu Mar 24 16:34:38 EDT 2011

10140 test cases, of which
0 caused framework failures
