Yes, it does apply cleanly - but does not fix the problem either. At first glance, I thought it got at least better, because valgrind on the reduced texinfo testcase only reports 4 out of 5 Invalid reads: https://uwe-dueffert.de/code/perl5.37.1/142_reduced_valgrind.sh.log -> https://uwe-dueffert.de/code/perl5.37.1/142_reduced+p98k_valgrind.sh.log But that's only because the reduced test case does not run through anymore, perl-5.37.1 with that 98kb patch already panics before reaching the line that would like to output the broken saved_LC_ALL2: https://uwe-dueffert.de/code/perl5.37.1/142_reduced+p98k_output.sh.log On the other hand, that might bring us closer to the problem. So I recompiled perl-5.37.1 with that 98kb patch with -DDEBUGGING and rerun the reduced texinfo testcase. As before, running it with -DDEBUGGING as well running it with valgrind makes the testcase run through (without any invalid char panic): https://uwe-dueffert.de/code/perl5.37.1/142_reduced+p98k+DEBUGGING_output.sh.log I notice that 1) either texinfos perl code or the compiling perl did change LC_NUMERIC inbetween and 2) that the output or rerunning it with -DLv is pretty short: https://uwe-dueffert.de/code/perl5.37.1/142_reduced+p98k+DEBUGGING_DLv.sh.log In there, there is not much happening between saved_LC_ALL1 and saved_LC_ALL2, and without -DDEBUGGING the patched perl is already panicing before reaching saved_LC_ALL2. With a newly built perl, the texinfo testcase is modified each time, i.e. the tp folder content differs and would complain about mismatch, so for above builds the regenerated reduced tastcase is: https://uwe-dueffert.de/code/perl5.37.1/texinfo-6.8_reduced_problem+p98k.tar.xz https://uwe-dueffert.de/code/perl5.37.1/texinfo-6.8_reduced_problem+p98k+DEBUGGING.tar.xz I will most likely be away from keyboard for the next 10 days, so do not expect further response in that time.
