Subject: Re: Musl bug, or, am I losing my mind?

First, thanks to everyone who's pitched in for this problem.
I'd love to send the sample file to the list but the file is very big about 45MB when i=5000.
Unfortunately, the problem does not rear its head until i is abut 7500.

The output of test.lua is not private and can be easily generated from this lua script:
--
for i=1,10000 do
  key,val="key" .. tostring(i), "value" .. string.rep(tostring(i),i)
  print(string.format("+%d,%d:%s->%s", string.len(key),string.len(val),key,val))
end
print("\n")
--
NOTES:
The problem starts when the loop counter, i, is around 75000.
the final newline are part of the cdb format spec.

Thanks

 Oops - just read the INSTALL file in the musl 1.1.12
 directory. I'm using gcc 4.90.

 Do you have a sample file we
 could use to reproduce the issue? If the
 output of test.lua is not private data, just
 lua test.lua > sample.txt
 and mailing
 sample.txt to the list would suffice.
