Details

Description:

PROMPT_DIRTRIM variable doesn't work properly. See the bellow to reproduce the same. Tested on Fedora 19 and it works fine, so seems to be some issue with build configuration.

Additional info:
* bash-4.2.045-4

Steps to reproduce:

Here is the output of a bash prompt (no custom .bashrc)

<code>
$ export PROMPT_DIRTRIM=0
$ export PS1='[\w]\$ '
$ cd /usr/share/man
</code>

shows

<code>
[/usr/share/man]$
</code>

but with this

<code>
$ export PROMPT_DIRTRIM=2
$ export PS1='[\w]\$ '
$ cd /usr/share/man
</code>

shows

<code>
[.../sare/mman]$
</code>

GOOD - glibc-2.17
BAD - glibc-2.18

And I can not replicate in virtualbox so it is probably some asm optimization to s string function... sigh.

And it is not glibc at all... memcpy should not be used on overlapping segments. Fixed in 4.2.045-5.
