[reportlab-users] pyRXP - strange non-deterministic errors on python 2.7 and 64-bit Linux

[Robin Becker]

Well just in case there is some strange problem related to path lengths I ran with

(bug000)robin at x-kitten001:~/aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa$ ls
first-file.xml  second-longer-file.xml  test.py
foo.xml         test.dtd                withcallback.py
(bug000)robin at x-kitten001:~/aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa$ python test.py foo.xml
default_base_url: CWDBS=1025 cwd=/home/robin/aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa len=34
default_base_url: url=file:///home/robin/aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa/
url_merge: url=./test.dtd base=file:///home/robin/aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa/
url_merge: merged_url=file:///home/robin/aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa/test.dtd
url_merge: url=file:///home/robin/aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa/test.dtd base=(null)
url_merge: merged_url=file:///home/robin/aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa/test.dtd
url_merge: url=./first-file.xml base=file:///home/robin/aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa/
url_merge: merged_url=file:///home/robin/aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa/first-file.xml
url_merge: url=file:///home/robin/aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa/first-file.xml base=(null)
url_merge: merged_url=file:///home/robin/aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa/first-file.xml
url_merge: url=./second-longer-file.xml 
base=file:///home/robin/aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa/
url_merge: 
merged_url=file:///home/robin/aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa/second-longer-file.xml
url_merge: url=file:///home/robin/aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa/second-longer-file.xml 
base=(null)
url_merge: 
merged_url=file:///home/robin/aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa/second-longer-file.xml
(bug000)robin at x-kitten001:~/aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa$

works fine, but I get an error in url_merge when I use this folder

~/aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaabbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb

the error looks like


> url_merge: url=./second-longer-file.xml base=file:///home/robin/aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaabbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb/

> url_merge: merged_url=file:///home/robin/aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaabbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb/secd-longer-fifile.xml


so the inputs to this function are OK and then it fails somewhere in the middle. 
I'll start debugging.
