I know you are being sarcastic...which is great...I love the humor...I dish it
out and can more than take it back. =)

However, you are right...testing it on other platforms before doing a checkin is
a good idea. I keep repeating myself on this until maybe someday you will hear
me: Holding up other developers because you check in buggy code is not a good
way to do development.

At CollabNet, it was considered major bad juju to check in code the broke the
product because it hampered and slowed down development for everyone which was
quite frustrating all around.

I guess what really bothers me most is that this issue doesn't even seem to be a
platform specific problem. So, I'm not sure why you are saying that you will
test it across platforms. Are you saying that when you ran 'make test' on your
box before doing that checkin and that it worked for you?

Just to troll a bit and which I don't really expect a reply...If you guys have
so many platform specific issues to deal with, why the heck are you using
Perl/C? Maybe another language(s) that has better platform cross compatibility
would be a better idea? Of course I'm sure that will start a flame war or two...

Based on all the constant test breakages, it seems that it would be a good idea
to setup a few runtime boxes that constantly build the latest svn head to catch
these problems right away and not depend on outside sources such as myself to
constantly tell you that you can't write stable code the first time ;-) ;-). You
 project is with the ASF now. There is an OSX box for use that is hosted at
Apple and managed by Wilfredo. Send infrastructure AT apache D O T org an email
and ask for an account on that box. I'm sure that will help shut me up and stop
annoying you so much. =)
