#320 [DOSEMU-1.3.3] Failure of DJGPP port of GNU Sed

Status: open

Owner: nobody

Labels: None

Priority: 5

Tried to configure GCC-4.0.2 for target
i586-pc-msdosdjgpp using DJGPP tools under DOSEMU-1.3.3.

Got stuck on the following problem:

GNU Sed edits Makefile.in and write Makefile. This
process fails and Sed writes file up to 2 Gb size and
after that DOSEMU quits with error message

Tested that the same command works without problems in
DOS session under WinXP.

The problem may however be related also with FreeDos.

Executable can be found at:
http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/dl/ofc/current/v2gnu/sed414b.zip/bin/sed.exe

Command:
sed -f foo.sed foo >foo.out

Files except sed.exe (see link above) are in the
attached ZIP archive

System information:
Linux distribution: Fedora Core 4
CPU: Pentium 4
GCC-4.0.2, kernel-2.6.15-1.1831_FC4

PS. LFN seems to work OK

Looks FreeDOS-specific indeed.
Try the FreeDOS bugzilla too please.

Found similar error with standard DPMI programs which ran fine with 1.3.2. Now I get a DPMI error 0d. Freedos works fine with 1.3.2. Seems like it definitely something with 1.3.3.

It is likely that dosemu is unstable now and should be rebooted

Same with microemacs, and other standard dpmi programs.

Pretty much a showstopper inasmuch backporting to 1.3.2 works fine.

It would be better to not mix the multiple reports
in the same bug entry. The original problem have nothing
to do with an "Unhandled Exception 0d" and is reproduceable
only on FreeDOS (I tried on a few different doses).
So, if you have the DPMI problems with 1.3.3, please
try CVS code, and if the problem is still there - open
another report and attach your xstats.exe to it.

It is indeed a problem in the FreeDOS kernel.
What happens is that SED tries to read from the NUL device in raw mode; that only works correctly in cooked mode.
It is fixed in the FreeDOS kernel CVS now.
