Hello,

I am thinking of using CVS on an IRIX system, but am concerned that the CVS test suite 
( make check ) fails.  The first failure is on the test importc-8.  The failure on 
importc-8 is related to the dates rolling over.

I have tried the tests on several different versions of IRIX, and IRIX6.5 DOES pass 
the tests.  We do not want to upgrade to IRIX6.5 however.

Questions:

Does anyone have CVS running on a IRIX system below IRIX6.5? Are there specific 
updates that you made to 
the system to run with CVS?

Are the tests well regarded/used/somthing to worry about?

I have tried to run all the test individually using the script:
    for I in "all the tests"
    do
    ./sanity.sh ./cvs $I
   done

This finds that   importc-8 and backuprecover both 
fail on IRIX6.3.  Oddly enough, under linux 
( which ran the whole suite without errors )
backuprecover core dumps if I try to run it alone, outside of the standard "make 
check" test course.

Any help would be appreciated.
