The shell file uses INTMAX_MAX not INT_MAX. But I am very sorry. I was
mistaken: seq-long-double.sh passes the test, it is the next test
seq-precision.sh what takes forever.
I don't understand how I missed that word PASS: in front of that. Blind
me :( Time to take a month leave.
Now I understand it is the next test after the one we are trying to
decode.
I will look into it why seq-precision is taken forever, and also check
if 8.23 had that test too.
Regards, Frans.
Ok, 8.23 had no seq-precision.sh test, but even if it would be there the
test would pass.
The problem is the next line:
seq 999999 inf | head -n2
On 8.23 seq would output
999999
1e+06
and it would stop. Note the change in notation.
With 8.24 the output is:
999999
1000000
Which is now correct, however, seq does not stop. So, it's a bug in seq
itself.
One thing for LFS would be to patch this test with
sed -i -e 's@seq 999999 inf@seq 999999 1000000@'
tests/misc/seq-precision.sh
Problem solved, now how to get seq corrected?
What is wrong with the seq output? In chroot I get:
$ seq 999999 inf | head -n2
999999
1000000
The sed is not needed. If you just run seq '999999 inf' it does not
stop, but the pipe to head kills it.

Bruce,
I found - in the meantime - that using 'seq 1.1 inf | head -n2' also
does stop it. Somehow, 'inf' does not trigger the right response on my
machine and head does nothing to stop it. My question to you: do you use
'head' from chapter 5 (TC-phase) or the completed chapter 6 (BSS-phase)?
I think I will rebuild from scratch again (2e time) and start fresh
tomorrow to dig into this deeper.
For now, good night, Frans.
