I looked for bugs in Linux coreutils on a Russian Elbrus PC.
It has a very interesting protected mode of operation where every memory pointer is tagged.
So, I just ran tests and quickly found a number of memory-related bugs.
I’ve submitted some patches, but they were never accepted. These tools’ maintainers seemed very inertial to me. So maybe this is why many (low importance, I assume) issues persists there for a long time.
