Hi Gordon, I am mostly happy with your changes; I think they're a useful addition to a test suite that gets intermittent love :-) One thing - the special tests used to copy themselves to the target and run from there, and you have changed it to at least not always do that. I understand why we need a way to avoid executing from the target remote filesystem, but executing that way has at least a time or two shown off bugs, mostly in the client, because of the way exec() manages mappings of the binary. I would prefer that this continue to be the default mode of operation to maintain this coverage, and to have an option to have the special tests do a chdir() instead. This is not huge, but I'd rather not lose the regression coverage. Rob T
