Buildfarm members batta and hachi don't like this very much.
I did not look at what's happening on the host, but it seems like a
safe bet to assume that we are not seeing many failures in the
buildfarm because we don't have many animals that have the idea to add
--with-zstd to their build configuration, like these two ones.
That may be part of the story, but only part. I spent a good deal of
time trying to reproduce batta & hachi's configurations locally, on
several different platforms, but still couldn't duplicate what they
are showing.
Yeah, I haven't been able to reproduce it either. But while investigating I found a couple of issues. We neglected to add one of the tests to meson.build, and we neglected to close some files, causing errors on windows.
I also noticed a possible bug in astreamer, where the decompressor finalize functions send bbs_buffer.maxlen bytes to the next streamer when flushing remaining data at end-of-stream. This seems wrong because the buffer may only be partially filled with valid decompressed data. Possible patch for that attached. (But I don't think it's related to these failures).
