I would be happy to try any variations of the simple test case that you would like tested. > > FWIW, the comp.lang.ada thread is here: > http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.ada/browse_thread/thread/ > 0e5a3abec221df39?hl=en The above URL didn't work for me, but http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.ada/browse_thread/thread/0e5a3abec221df39# does. It appears you got lots of interest and speculation which is good, but I am disappointed that nobody has actually tried the test case, yet. To add some additional motivation for potential testers, you might want to refer directly to http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=10;filename=simple_test_case.tar.gz;att=1;bug=497067 (the test tarball I attached to my bug report), and give the cookbook (tested by you) for downloading, unpacking, building, and running that test case. A tarball is a lot more convenient for potential testers than cutting and pasting the test source code from e-mails with concerns about completeness, line wrapping, etc. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
