retitle 399374 libxml-twig-perl: FTBFS amd64 etch - test reveals memory leak
severity 399374 serious
tags 399374 help
stop


Here is a part of the log:

t/test_memory.......................memory leak parsing xml: expected '27676', 
got '27808'
FAILED test 2
        Failed 1/2 tests, 50.00% okay

The relevant part of the test script:

      my $before= mem_size();
      for (1..5) { XML::Twig->new->parse_html( $html); mem_size(); }
      my $after= mem_size();
      is( $after, $before, "memory leak parsing xml");

The FTBFS is "serious".  The memory leak can be "critical" I think.

I cannot reproduce this bug on i386.  I have no access to an amd64.

I can easily fix the FTBFS by skipping the memory test, but that is
obviously not the first choice to make.

Suggestions?

Regards,

Bart Martens
