So since I've not been able to get test 2 or 3 to core dump (even
before 250b3c6c) I tend to believe you are correct in that the code
thinks (incorrectly) that the result should fit within the buffer.

Thanks; let me steal your tests when I reroll.

Awesome. :)

But please squash in this tiny change if using the tests verbatim:

Thanks.  I actually have a question wrt the need for $MAKE_PATCHES.

It would have been more natural to do something like:

test_expect_success 'setup' '
        printf "\t%s\n" 1 2 3 4 5 6 >before &&
        printf "\t%s\n" 1 2 3 >after &&
        printf "%64s\n" a b c >>after &&
        printf "\t%s\n" 4 5 6 >>after &&
        git diff --no-index before after |
        sed -e "s/before/test-1/" -e "s/after/test-1/" >patch1.patch &&
        printf "%64s\n" 1 2 3 4 5 6 >test-1 &&
        printf "%64s\n" 1 2 3 a b c 4 5 6 >expect-1 &&

        printf "\t%s\n" a b c d e f >before &&
        printf "\t%s\n" a b c >after &&
       ...
        cat test-4 >expect-4 &&
        printf "%64s\n" a b c >>expect-4 &&
        while test $x -lt 100
        do
                printf "%63s%02d\n" "" $x >>test-4
                printf "%63s%02d\n" "" $x >>expect-4
                x=$(( $x + 1 ))
        done &&

        git config core.whitespace tab-in-indent,tabwidth=63 &&
       git config apply.whitespace fix
'

test_expect_success 'apply with ws expansion (1)' '
        git apply patch1.patch &&
       test_cmp test-1 expect-1
'

and if you want test files you can just skip tests #2 and later,
without introducing an ad-hoc mechanism like you did.

Was there something more than that that you wanted from
$MAKE_PATCHES?

Well, see I found t/t4135/make-patches that makes patches for use by t4135-apply-weird-filenames.sh and thought perhaps that was the approved way to do things.

But then it seemed overkill since making the patches takes so little time it didn't seem to warrant a separate directory. But the ability to just make the patch files without requiring any external scripts or test framework seemed nice so I added those two extra lines to make it possible.

I don't have any strong feelings about it. The setup test plus 4 explicit tests looks fine.

In any case, here is an update to that sanity check patch to catch
the two cases the BUG did not trigger.

Sometimes the caller under-counted the size of the result but
thought that it would still fit within the original (hence allowing
us to update in-place by passing postlen==0) but the actual result
was larger than the space we have allocated in the postimage,
clobbering the piece of memory after the postimage->buf.

        postimage->len = new - postimage->buf;
        postimage->nr -= reduced;

Nice. No more of those bogus results can slip through that somehow evade evoking a core dump.
