Test suite failures with cvs version?



Hello Ray,

no problem. I am always a bit in fear that the code will not work on other
systems. Perhaps in the feature I will install additionally a Linux to do even
more tests with other compilers. But now my computer is too old and my harddisks
are full.

I think these issues are not really there.  As usual, I was depending on
the defsystem dependencies to be correct so when I did a cvs update and
make, everything would get rebuilt as needed.  I should know better that
not all of the dependencies have been worked out.

So I removed everything and rebuilt from scratch.  I"m rerunning the
tests now, but I expect them all to pass.

Sorry for the trouble.
