tags 428105 unreproducible thanks On amd64, however, it seems 100% broken: Works fine for me: $ dpkg-architecture DEB_BUILD_ARCH=amd64 DEB_BUILD_ARCH_OS=linux DEB_BUILD_ARCH_CPU=amd64 DEB_BUILD_GNU_CPU=x86_64 DEB_BUILD_GNU_SYSTEM=linux-gnu DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE=x86_64-linux-gnu DEB_HOST_ARCH=amd64 DEB_HOST_ARCH_OS=linux DEB_HOST_ARCH_CPU=amd64 DEB_HOST_GNU_CPU=x86_64 DEB_HOST_GNU_SYSTEM=linux-gnu DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE=x86_64-linux-gnu $ echo foo | ./buffer foo $ Could you please run one of your test cases under strace -f and send me the output? And please also include your kernel configuration since this *could* have to do with how SysV shared memory is configured on your machine.
