[gnutls-devel] valgrind test openpgp-certs woodo

[Alon Bar-Lev]

Hi,

I go this strange error in openpgp-certs and only in this test when
running under valgrind. I could not find any reason for this so I
describe what I do get.

To make it short, after configure edit tests/cert-tests/Makefile and
leave only openpgp-certs in TESTS.

Then run make check, I experience the following valgrind error that
fails the test:
---

Interesting... if I run only the test using the following command it passes!

$ rm openpgp-certs.log && make openpgp-certs.log

I tried to compare the environment/usage and found nothing. I noticed
the ss failures so prepared this[1] but errors to be harmless.

Then found that the following does pass!!!
PATH=$PATH:/usr/sbin:/sbin make check

I tried to figure out where the problem comes from but could not... I
thought you may have a better idea. Something in this specific test
that uses the same utilities as any other similar tests is doing
something special.

Thanks,
Alon
