Oh it's totally ancilliary; if this doesn't work on VMS it's quite simple to skip the test. I'm curious to know though - is this a new failure since 0.21, or has it existed for a while? I'm not really aware of anything I changed since 0.21 that would cause this. -- Paul "LeoNerd" Evans leonerd@leonerd.org.uk ICQ# 4135350 | Registered Linux# 179460 http://www.leonerd.org.uk/Thread Previous | Thread Next
