Thanks but I'm still not clear on this point:
In the Makefile for the Tcl port:
# Needs a full network connection to run
REGRESS_IS_INTERACTIVE=Yes
Is the network fully connected when you're out hiking? :)
Also, 'headless', iiuc means no X display; could a port which needs an X
display for regress use Xvfb(1)?

It means that interaction is needed.
Consider this: could the rack of headless machines in Theo's basement
run "make regress" while the rest of us go hiking?

GDB has a 'break' feature; why doesn't it have 'fix' too?
