i'm just building a kernel with btrfs to verify your very probable hypothesis; upstream's test suite is a fairly yucktastic setup that ditches a lot of very useful output for content-free assertions. what does fail in your tests is the test priming in testing/__init__.py, where testing/testfiles.tar.gz is unpacked. it's running "tar xzf testfiles.tar.gz > /dev/null 2>&1" and that tarball does contain a number of nastily named files (glancing at hexdump tells me it's iso-8859-1 and not utf-8). i suspect these file names are the root cause. regards az -- Alexander Zangerl + GPG Key 2FCCF66BB963BD5F + http://snafu.priv.at/ "Ein Blitzableiter auf einem Kirchturm ist das denkbar stärkste Mißtrauensvotum gegen den lieben Gott." -- Karl Kraus
