ok great.
On your last point, the testu01 instructions say that the program
will run under Windows or Linux but makes no reference to OS-X. Even
under Windows it relies upon an emulation layer (Cygwin or
equivalent), so I am not sure how much one would learn about the
Windows behaviour of the programs rather than about the Linux
emulation. I will leave that to someone else. What I can do is run
testu01 in a Linux virtual machine on a Mac if anyone thinks that
this would be useful.
Note I'm *not* claiming that it should be done on several platforms. I
simply don't know if that's useful in the sense that I don't know if the
test is theoretically platform-dependent. All I'm saying is that I'm
pretty sure it's *not* very useful if the test is replicated on more or
less identical setups.
Having said that, I would normally expect the unixy OS X to be
manageable if the source code for a posix-type system exists (as it does
here). But let's just wait for your results and not get into a "big
crushing" frenzy.
thanks,
