Huh. If I remember correctly then I did actually test that this
works, but oh, well...

Thanks a lot for fixing this up for ASAN then. I've tried to get
ASAN running on musl libc multiple times, but didn't yet have any
luck in doing so as it will always crash immediately. I'll
probably have to invest some more time here at some point to get
this working.

In fact there's one more test failure in fdisk/oddinput. Seems
like patch 6/6 (fdisk: avoid hardcoding of errno string,
2019-08-23) wasn't applied yet?
