Well, I'd say it "modifies" the problem. With perl-5.37.1 with this patch, the offending perl command from texinfo does not panic anymore. Instead, it creates a 300K texinfo.info and then continues to run with full CPU usage forever (or at least until manually terminated after 5min). With perl-5.37.0, the offending command instead creates a tiny texinfo.info and 3 ~300K texinfo-{1,2,3}.info and finishes in like 1 second. > And in any case please send us the output of the Linux command > locale -a Sure. Nothing fancy I'm aware of: $> locale -a C C.utf8 de_DE de_DE@euro de_DE.iso88591 de_DE.iso885915@euro de_DE.utf8 en_US en_US.iso88591 en_US.utf8 POSIX Regards UweThread Previous | Thread Next
