--- Begin Message --- Subject: Re: bug#22350: Failing pcre-count test on ppc64 (and probably aarch64) Date: Mon, 11 Jan 2016 11:35:14 -0800 User-agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:38.0) Gecko/20100101 Thunderbird/38.5.0 Thanks for reporting that. I can't reproduce the bug here but I think I see why it's happening; grep is working but the test case is incorrect on some platforms. I installed the attached patch and am boldly marking the bug as fixed. (I see now that the commit's ChangeLog entry isn't quite right, but this is not worth fixing at this point.) Please give this a try. If it doesn't fix the bug we can remove the mark.
