Hi Apostolos,

these diffs are exactly the same as reported yesterday by Jindrich for
x86_64-linux-gnu (fedora).

Which compiler and version?

What parameters did you use for the Build script?

Can you go to /opt/sources/BACKUP/TeX/source/Work and run
   make -k check >logfile 2>&1
and see if any other tests fail.

This could be a compiler problem or a problem in the code (although there
were no warnings).

I mostly build for i686-linux-gnu (and i386-mingw32 cross), but my
x86_64-linux-gnu build with gcc-3.4.6 did not have this problem.

========================

I'll have a close look at the code to see if there is something suspicious.

========================

How to proceed:

I'd suggest that you edit the test script
   /opt/sources/BACKUP/TeX/source/utils/chktex/chktex.test
changing the line
   diff $srcdir/$CHKTEX_TREE/Test.out chktest || exit 1
into
   diff $srcdir/$CHKTEX_TREE/Test.out chktest || exit 77
