here are some (possibly off-list) message subjects from late 2009

for -lcmd builtins

        VSC test results for { "comm", "join", "tail" }
        VSC test failures for "cmp" builtin
        VSC test suite failures when testing the "mkfifo" builtin

for ast standalone cmds

        VSC test results for AST { "egrep", "fgrep" and "grep" }
        VSC test suite failures when testing AST "sed" from ast-open.2009-10-21

I may have missed msgs with reports on other ast commands/builtins
or I may have only gotten msgs on VSC test failures

as far as I know the issues raised by the VSC test failures have been addressed,
except for my contention that one of the VSC tests is flawed

maybe Roland can collate all of the ast/ksh/builtins VSC tests that were done
