Hi, Sorry, I forgot to mention the bug reference in my earlier mail. This patch is for Bug 16254. This is v2 of the patch that disables the randtest in the gawk ptest suite. This version includes the detailed debugging analysis showing that the intermittent randtest failures are caused by sensitivity in the statistical threshold used in the autocorrelation check. Small variations in sigma, floating-point behavior, entropy availability, or timing conditions (particularly on QEMU / autobuilder) can cause abs(corr[tau]/sigma) to exceed the threshold even when the randomness is valid. This aligns with the AB-INT failures reported in the autobuilder.
Thanks, Aditya GS ________________________________ From: Aditya GS Sent: Tuesday, May 19, 2026 11:06 AM To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: PATCH gawk: ptest: disable randtest due to nondeterministic behavior Hi, This is a patch for disabling randtest in the gawk ptest suite.
