When compiling Perl-blead with Perlbrew\, the ext/POSIX/t/wrappers.t unit test fails with:
ext/POSIX/t/wrappers .......................................... # Failed test 'getc' # at t/wrappers.t line 217. # got: undef # expected: '1' FAILED at test 82
I suspect that the unit test doesn't pass because fork() silently fails right after the getgrgid() call. For example\, when running this script:
use strict;
use warnings;
my $id = $(;
say STDERR "group id: $id";
my $getgrgid_result = getgrgid $id;
say STDERR "getgrgid: $getgrgid_result";
my $pid = fork();
fail("fork failed: $!") unless defined $pid;
if ($pid) { say STDERR "MAIN PROCESS"; } else { say STDERR "CHILD PROCESS"; }
The *expected* output is:
group id: 10018 113 10018 getgrgid: bcis-interns MAIN PROCESS CHILD PROCESS
But the *actual* output I get with Perl-blead is:
group id: 10018 113 10018 getgrgid: bcis-interns MAIN PROCESS
I should also note that we're building Perl on an OpenLDAP user\, and that the sample script (or the unit test) doesn't fail on a "normal" user (the one from /etc/passwd). Also\, Perl v5.16.3 provides the *expected* output for the test script listed above.
I would be very thankful if you could provide me with any tips and hints on how I could debug / help you to fix this issue.
