Re: Regression failure on debian testing - when does pspp make a linebreak?

[Ben Pfaff]

That's pretty unusual. I think that line breaks are determined using
libunistring's implementation of Unicode's linebreaking algorithm.
It's strange that it would act differently on Debian testing. We have
our own code of libunistring internally; maybe we're somehow using the
one that comes with Debian instead, and perhaps that's a slightly
different version that treats periods differently.

Is this the only failure you see there?

I don't think LC_ALL will affect this because the tests already set it
internally (the same way you did).
