Description of problem: Upstream regression in xkbcomp commit 9887842e33174a6e98675b912e419c711dd20c0f. A performance optimization commit caused the read buffer to not be reset on a new file if a parse error occurs and the new scanchar() function keeps returning characters from the old file. This prevents the symbols.dir directory listing from being generated properly for the xkeyboard-config build. When xkbcomp is called by the build, it is called in the git tree. The Makefiles in that tree cause the above errors. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-xkb-utils-7.7-3.el6 How reproducible: rpmbuild --rebuild xkeyboard-config-nvr.src.rpm. The symbols.dir should be around 11000 lines. Direct call xkbcomp -lfhlpR "path/to/xkeyboard-config.git/symbols/*" Again, the output should be around 11000 lines. The current truncated output is between 50 and 250 lines, depending on the version of xkeyboard-config.
