AIUI, the failures are not intermittent.

I don't think it's a blocker to release code with known bugs, especially test case bugs. But it would be sensible to note this in the release notes on the web-site and perhaps in the announce to the dev/user lists to forestall any complaints. > Oleg > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] > For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
