OK - you can start breathing again ;-)

It sounds like Carl already has the s/na/PL_na/ stuff already taken 
care of.  Nevertheless other folks on this list may still be interested
in the content of this patch (see attachement).  I note the following 
items regarding a successful run of mmk test (or mms test):

1. it must be run from a process with elevated privs to be successful
2. it must be run from an account other than SYSTEM (although now it 
   is not necessary to have an ORACLE user to run this test, merely 
someone
   other than SYSTEM).

This worked for us on Alpha, but we do not use it on our Itanium perl
installations.  I hope it proves helpful to you Carl and anyone else
who might want to try it.
