As described in commit v9.10-283-g5cb0cca3b
avoid using ulimit with $SHELL -c, and explict
invocation of the shell like that can require lots of memory,
often due to loading the locale archive.
* tests/basenc/bounded-memory.sh: Avoid $SHELL -c with ulimit.
* tests/cut/bounded-memory.sh: Likewise.
* tests/expand/bounded-memory.sh Likewise.
* tests/pr/bounded-memory.sh Likewise.
* tests/unexpand/bounded-memory.sh Likewise.
* tests/fold/fold-zero-width.sh: Bring the ulimit bound
down to the standard 6M over the determined limit.
tests: fix false failure under some shells2026-04-12T10:41:31ZPádraig BradyP@draigBrady.com2026-04-11T21:33:50Zurn:sha1:5cb0cca3b863e7aa5978f725c227c323a4a0d58f
Verified with:
make -j4 PREFERABLY_POSIX_SHELL=/bin/ksh SUBDIRS=. check
* tests/fold/fold-zero-width.sh: Don't timeout $SHELL -c ...
as the ulimit induces a failure in the subshell depending
on the order of the allocations it does. The main issue is
disparity between the probed ulimit and that needed by $SHELL -c.
Such subshells load the often very large locale archive, thus
if there are any allocations done after the now too low ulimit is set,
then the $SHELL command fails. Note we timeout fold rather than
the whole pipeline so any 124 exit status is propagated.
maint: tests: refactor uses of bad_unicode()2026-03-04T17:57:54ZPádraig BradyP@draigBrady.com2026-03-04T17:57:54Zurn:sha1:e24372e6d0f10ab54c3c387930246c5e66f40a34
* init.cfg: Use 0xFF rather than 0xC3 everywhere.
* tests/fold/fold-characters.sh: Reuse bad_unicode().
* tests/tac/tac-locale.sh: Likewise.
fold: fix output truncation with 0xFF bytes in input2026-03-04T17:45:57ZPádraig BradyP@draigBrady.com2026-03-04T16:56:48Zurn:sha1:a85e9182b1d173c26205dada54133cd9e9174fc1
On signed char platforms, 0xFF was converted to -1
which matches MBBUF_EOF, causing fold to stop processing.
* NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
* gl/lib/mbbuf.h: Avoid sign extension on signed char platforms.
* tests/fold/fold-characters.sh: Adjust test case.

* tests/fold/fold-zero-width.sh: Check the shell was able to create
the redirection file, as intermittently on CentOS 5,6,7 this wasn't
the case, with the shell giving an xmalloc failure due to the ulimit.

of the width of characters before testing based on those widths.
* tests/fold/fold-zero-width.sh: Likewise.
* tests/fold/fold.pl: Only compare the exit status,
as the error message can be translated.
