Package: bash Version: 5.0-4 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
I do lot's of software development and testing with valgrind on Debian unstable. Several testsuites of OSS projects use bash as part of the tests. The current bash version breaks test suite due to a 'definitely lost block'. It doesn't matter how you invoke bash. Here is just an example. $ valgrind --leak-check=yes bash x ==2103== Memcheck, a memory error detector ==2103== Copyright (C) 2002-2017, and GNU GPL'd, by Julian Seward et al. ==2103== Using Valgrind-3.14.0 and LibVEX; rerun with -h for copyright info ==2103== Command: bash x ==2103== bash: x: No such file or directory ==2103== ==2103== HEAP SUMMARY: ==2103== in use at exit: 40,853 bytes in 631 blocks ==2103== total heap usage: 798 allocs, 167 frees, 60,518 bytes allocated ==2103== ==2103== 12 bytes in 1 blocks are definitely lost in loss record 80 of 220 ==2103== at 0x483577F: malloc (vg_replace_malloc.c:299) ==2103== by 0x195E8D: xmalloc (in /bin/bash) ==2103== by 0x18F51A: set_default_locale (in /bin/bash) ==2103== by 0x135EE6: main (in /bin/bash) ==2103== ==2103== LEAK SUMMARY: ==2103== definitely lost: 12 bytes in 1 blocks ==2103== indirectly lost: 0 bytes in 0 blocks ==2103== possibly lost: 0 bytes in 0 blocks ==2103== still reachable: 40,841 bytes in 630 blocks ==2103== suppressed: 0 bytes in 0 blocks ==2103== Reachable blocks (those to which a pointer was found) are not shown. ==2103== To see them, rerun with: --leak-check=full --show-leak-kinds=all ==2103== ==2103== For counts of detected and suppressed errors, rerun with: -v ==2103== ERROR SUMMARY: 1 errors from 1 contexts (suppressed: 0 from 0) Building bash 5.0 from upstream fixes this issue for me.
