I think the wholesale renaming of t/op/misc as t/run/kill_perl is really wrong.
(I think you are reading too much into the leading comments, and other people have been reading too little into them.) t/op/misc has NOT consistently been the place for core-dumping tests; it has some yes, but not all, and some of its tests are _not_ core-dumping, they are, ta-dah, misc, tests that over the years have had no other appropriate place. Also, I do not see any particular advantage in having a separate test script *just* for core-dumping tests: the test harnesses (TEST and harness) should handle core dumps (as well as they can) in any test script. What should be done instead of the simple renaming is that each of the tests in the run/kill_perl aka op/misc should be siphoned off to other, as appropriate as possible, test scripts (possibly creating new test scripts if appropriate), and leave just the bare minimum set of tests that really doesn't fit elsewhere, into t/something/misc. -- $jhi++; # http://www.iki.fi/jhi/ # There is this special biologist word we use for 'stable'. # It is 'dead'. -- Jack Cohen
