The "make check RCS_MEM_LIMIT=0" problem has now been resolved. To blame is a comparison between off_t and size_t.
The solution is to explicitly cast the size_t to off_t.

With this (git commit 93882bca1645b873746cb6f18def9955f5d8f449) both "make check" and "make check RCS_MEM_LIMIT=0" succeed on gcc10.

Thus, i am changing the status to fixed / closed.

This is traced (so far) to a ‘getcurdate’ call (in ci.c ‘main’). One workaround is to call ‘getcurdate’ early on. Then "make check" finishes successfully. However, this results in a crash for "make check RCS_MEM_LIMIT=0".

This bug has "blocker" severity; 5.8 cannot be released until it is resolved.
