I haven't found a way to make it more reliable. Normally this would be solved with a fake clock, but we don't have one. Can you mark the test as flaky, so that it's run more than once and considered OK if it passes at least once? -- >From "know your smileys": y:-) Bad toupee /// Bram Moolenaar -- [email protected] -- http://www.Moolenaar.net \\\ /// sponsor Vim, vote for features -- http://www.Vim.org/sponsor/ \\\ \\\ an exciting new programming language -- http://www.Zimbu.org /// \\\ help me help AIDS victims -- http://ICCF-Holland.org /// -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
