RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Jacob Hunt 2014-07-29 20:19:24 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1087940 +++

Description of problem:
Upstream bug http://sourceforge.net/p/cscope/bugs/200/

cscope reports "File does not have expected format" when performing
a lookup for a C symbol.

This happens for some of the symbols.  On is reported upstream.
I can consistently reproduce by looking for skb_mac_gso_segment
in the kernel source tree.

The index is built using 
 # cscope -q -b -R -k

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Build a symbol db using
   # cscope -q -b -R -k
2. Launch cscope
3. Search for skb_mac_gso_segment C symbol

Actual results:


Expected results:


Additional info:
Upstream bug includes a patch (http://sourceforge.net/p/cscope/bugs/200/#10cf).
I've built a test rpm and verified that the patch solves this problem for me.
