Ah, sorry, forgot to mention that detail: I've done all my z/OS builds with dynamic libraries, -Dusedl (usedl, not use_dl). But IIRC, what I've seen from John Goodyear's and Merijn Broeren's builds (which I think are done using the defaults, that is, with static libraries), they are failing the same tests. > Peter Prymmer > -- $jhi++; # http://www.iki.fi/jhi/ # There is this special biologist word we use for 'stable'. # It is 'dead'. -- Jack Cohen
