            Bug ID: 11896
           Summary: bunzip2: bunzip fails testsuite on s390x Conditional
                    jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s)
           Product: Busybox
           Version: 1.30.x
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: Other
          Assignee: unassigned at busybox.net
          Reporter: xnox at ubuntu.com

  Target Milestone: ---

Originally reported at
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/busybox/+bug/1828282 with initial
suspicion at glibc, however later diagnosed to be a busybox issue.

The full analysis is at

In short bz2_issue_11.bz2 test case always fails on s390x since bunzip2 depends
on uninitialised values, which happen to always be "wrong" on s390x.

This is observable with valgrind too:

# valgrind busybox bunzip2 <bz2_issue_11.bz2 2>&1 >/dev/null

For the time being we are skipping the bz2_issue_11.bz2 test case in ubuntu.
