Hmmm, yeah. > We would have to audit them all and add enough external > functions, volatile markers or what-have-you to have them survive > until RTL. Not sure if it's worth it. I'm sure it isn't. Clearly test cases which we now understand to be invalid should be changed or removed. Other than that, I would vote for leaving them alone. Unless people are concerned about the number of tests we have. (To speed up running the testsuite it would probably be more useful in any case to put some time into running test cases in parallel on native systems. Tcl has enough support for processes that this shouldn't be very hard. It would mostly be a bookkeeping issue, I think.) Ian
