Bug#747519: bibtool: Symbol does not start with a letter random errors with pipe

Hello Vincent,
thanks for your email.
I can reproduce the issue on my laptop too,
but the upstream could not reproduce it on his virtual box.
Have you try your material on a virtual box ?
Best wishes,
Jerome

I can reproduce the bug on two of my machines with both unstable
and experimental bibtool packages:
* Laptop with 2 cores, physical access.
* Desktop machine with 8 cores, SSH access.
I need to wait for a few seconds up to several dozens of seconds
(in the worst case, it took up to 84 seconds on my laptop).

I suspect that the Symbol does not start with a letter error appears

This is the workaround:
the silent corruption is the bug (which appears hard to isolate).

How can we easily see that ?
I suspect that the Symbol does not start with a letter error
appears when such a corrupt output is fed to a second bibtool
invocation with a pipe, as indeed, the DEL character is not a
letter.
It is an output issue, not a pipe one:
if the '-o' option is used in the script along with temporary files,
the issue remains.

Jerome

One can see that 2 instances have been corrupted.
Or:
while { bibtool -q -- 'preserve.key.case = On' -- 'select{@InProceedings}'
all.bib | out.bib; [[ `md5sum out.bib` = 246089a0c05153f40fdfc3349882dd2b* ]]
} do ; done
then look at the out.bib file with less, and search for the DEL
character (Ctrl-V Ctrl-?). Here I get 3 of them.
It seems that when the output is corrupted, it is always in the same way.

Bug#747519: bibtool: Symbol does not start with a letter random errors with pipe
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hello Again, the upstream maintainer is working on it. Meanwhile, it appears that putting a sufficiently long `print.line.length' fixes the issue: a length of 255 for the sent material does the trick.
