Hi Rafael,

In my 20221204 at 23:42 (yesterday) email I forgot to add that on my chroot 
setup, I can reproduce latex failing to compile the file I was attaching.
In that setup I have a utf8x.def too, sized 8036 bytes and with md5sum
21f7ac37aafb6cfeddbb196b8bfd6280 .

To the goal of fixing the librsb package: that test is the last one in
`make tests`, and it it's just to make sure rsbtest can produce a buildable 
LaTeX file; it's nothing core or important, so sed'ing out that line
seems the solution to me -- librsb itself is functional.
