Glenn, our libcmd tail test module still fails, as Roland has reported
in his mail below. It is a bit tricky for us on Solaris, as it happens
to system scripts to hang on run level switch or system shut down. I
attached the test module to this mail.

The "tail" builtin causes new test failures (the test module worked OK
with ast-ksh.2012-09-11) in the "buildin_tail.sh" test module:
-- snip --
test builtin_tail begins at 2012-09-28+10:12:30
        builtin_tail.sh[436]: test5a: tail pid=20178 hung.
        builtin_tail.sh[471]: test6a: tail pid=20180 hung.
test builtin_tail failed at 2012-09-28+10:14:05 with exit code 1 [ 29
tests 1 error ]
test builtin_tail(shcomp) begins at 2012-09-28+10:14:05
        shcomp-builtin_tail.ksh[436]: test5a: tail pid=20235 hung.
        shcomp-builtin_tail.ksh[471]: test6a: tail pid=20237 hung.
test builtin_tail(shcomp) failed at 2012-09-28+10:15:39 with exit code
2 [ 29 tests 2 errors ]
-- snip --

BTW: I attached the "buildin_tail.sh" test module in the attached tar
archive "new_ast_tests20120927_001.tar.bz2" (BTW: It would be nice to
add all the tests in that archive to ast-ksh...).

Bye,
Roland
