That noninteractive test completed finally without any errors which is a big breakthrough for the MinGW/MSYS/Wine platform. Woohoo! So, Arjen, there should be nothing in our source tree that prevents you from replicating this test on MinGW/MSYS/Microsoft Windows. It did take 17.5 hours on Wine to complete this test, but the computer time required in the MinGW/MSYS/Microsoft Windows case should be much less than that. My next step is to finish up the comprehensive Linux tests I describe in README.release (revision 12981). Then I plan to follow that up by doing an _interactive_ comprehensive test on MinGW/MSYS/Wine to finish out the MinGW/MSYS/Wine test I have described in README.release. That will be the final effort I have planned for this release cycle. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
