On macOS 15.4, the test-trim3.sh unit test randomly succeeds or fails:
FAIL: test-trim3.sh
===================
../../tests/test-trim.c:143: assertion 'strcmp (result, "\241\244foo") == 0'
failed
../../tests/test-trim3.sh: line 15: 61193 Abort trap: 6
LC_ALL=$LOCALE_ZH_CN ${CHECKER} ./test-trim${EXEEXT} 3
FAIL test-trim3.sh (exit status: 134)
My conclusion is that the GB18030 locale in macOS is broken.
