RE: 'csplit' core dumps in 'make check'

[Mark_Conty]

Hello, again --

Once I commented out "csplit" from the list of TESTS in 
tests/misc/Makefile, the "make check" progressed further, only to 
encounter another error, this time in tests/rm/:

        out exp differ: char 26, line 1
        1c1
        < rm: cannot remove `a/b': Permission denied
        ---
        > rm: cannot remove `a/b': Operation not permitted
        FAIL: fail-2eperm

I commented out "rm" from the list of SUBDIRS in tests/Makefile, and ran 
"make check" again, this time hitting a series of "Memory fault 
(coredump)" errors in /tac/.  I've attached the output (tac.txt), 
produced with VERBOSE=yes.

Continuing from that point, I only ran into one more failure, this time 
in /tail-2/, where the 'dd' command -- neither the default HP-UX 
/usr/bin/dd nor /opt/gnu/bin/dd, version 3.16 from GNU fileutils -- 
couldn't handle the large 4gb parameter.  I don't know if this falls 
into one of those "framework" errors mentioned in the README, but I was 
running as "root", so I don't think any kind of setuid/setgid change 
would have made any difference.  No further "make check" failures after 
that point.

See ya!
