The tst-regex test can hang for any number of reasons. The workaround
is to timeout the test.

Workaround is already upstream here:
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6653

Cheers,
Carlos.

I don't really like this workaround, this just means that every program
that use a regex and an UTF-8 locale will hang...

In case I wasn't clear, the solution is to backport the patch for
BZ#6653, thus allowing tst-regex to timeout *instead* of timing out
the buildd.

I understand, that with the patch the build will succeed. But that just
means we will have a broken glibc in unstable. I consider that test
important enough to not ignore it.

FYI, I am working on the problem, it *seems* the problem is due to the
switch to 2.6.25 kernel headers.

 important enough to not ignore it.

Eventually all the tests will be migrated to the test-skeleton
framework, and then the buildd will *never* timeout. Relying on the
tests to timeout the buildd will eventually cause a broken glibc to be
uploaded. There should be a post-build step that scans the error logs
and fails the build.

I posted a patch for this in 2004 here:
http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-glibc@lists.debian.org/msg08830.html

Aurel, what do you think?

 FYI, I am working on the problem, it *seems* the problem is due to the
 switch to 2.6.25 kernel headers.

Thanks.
