Even with my recent fixes to gdbm and cygipc, I still think that many of these errors are in the external libraries and not in perl itself. For instance, the complete failure of all ipc-sysv regression tests, and the failures in the lib/odbm and lib/ndbm tests. OTOH, there's plenty of ntsec-triggered failures in parts of perl that do not rely on external libraries -- the base/rs tests, lib/dirhand.t, lib/filecache.t, lib/filepath.t, etc. OTO-O-H, there's a few tests that failed *without* ntsec, and worked okay *with* ntsec -- lib/glob-basic. I'm going to try a let my hair grow back before looking at this again, though. I pulled out way too much of it... --Chuck -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
