Dear maintainer,

zvbi autopkgtest fails on amd64 when tested against glibc 2.42:

| 23s autopkgtest [20:31:34]: test command1: zvbi-atsc-cc -h
| 23s autopkgtest [20:31:34]: test command1: [-----------------------
| 24s zvbi-atsc-cc: Out of memory.autopkgtest [20:31:35]: test command1: -----------------------]
| 24s autopkgtest [20:31:35]: test command1:  - - - - - - - - - - results - - - - - - - - - -
| 24s command1             FAIL non-zero exit status 1
| 24s autopkgtest [20:31:35]: test command1:  - - - - - - - - - - stderr - - - - - - - - - -
| 24s zvbi-atsc-cc: Out of memory.autopkgtest [20:31:35]: test command2: preparing testbed

The full log is available there:
https://ci.debian.net/data/autopkgtest/unstable/amd64/z/zvbi/64407936/log.gz

This problem seems limited to amd64. Unfortunately I haven't been able
to reproduce the problem locally, so I can't provide more details.

Hi,

I have noticed that the same issues appears on ppc64el, also the problem
predates the glibc 2.42 upload and is even present in trixie:

Sorry for my slow reply. I am unable to reproduce the issue locally. I
do not think it is specific to glibc 2.42. Likely, it is something with
the chroot configuration. There is a build test (test-pdc) in zvbi that
also has issues only in a chroot.

This is a very basic test for checking the script prints help, so it is
unlikely this should cause an out of memory issue. Since this is a
simple test, I am fine with removing it from the autopkgtest.
