This is just a quick note to let folks know that 5.6.0
final release did build OK on that strange Alpha that
had both a volnam of USER and an overriding rooted
logical name USER. Although I had suspected that I would
have had a chance to remount that device, the chance never
cropped up. So I went ahead with a test build - fully
expecting it to fail when miniperl first invokes writemain.pl.
But it worked. `mms test` reported one failure in one of
the glob tests, one failure in vmsish.t and one failure
in [.pragma]warnings.t.
I did note that between RC3 and the final release that there
was no difference in vms.c, a small difference in util.c
(that looks more regular expression related), so I'm still
not sure where the stat struct return value correction occurred
(perhaps in the typo that Jarkko mentioned?). All's well
that compiles well I guess.
