Re: Musl bug, or, am I losing my mind?

[Guided Muscle <atguarded-gizmo@yahoo.com>]

First, thanks to everyone who's pitched in for this problem.
I'd love to send the sample file to the list but the file is very big about 45MB when i=5000.
Unfortunately, the problem does not rear its head until i is abut 7500.

The output of test.lua is not private and can be easily generated from this lua script:
--
for i=1,10000 do
  key,val="key" .. tostring(i), "value" .. string.rep(tostring(i),i)
  print(string.format("+%d,%d:%s->%s", string.len(key),string.len(val),key,val))
end
print("\n")
--
NOTES:
The problem starts when the loop counter, i, is around 75000.
the final newline are part of the cdb format spec.

Thanks

 Oops - just read the INSTALL file in the musl 1.1.12
 directory. I'm using gcc 4.90.

 Do you have a sample file we
 could use to reproduce the issue? If the
 output of test.lua is not private data, just
 lua test.lua > sample.txt
 and mailing
 sample.txt to the list would suffice.
