That sounds to me like the best of both worlds: we get the output that I want, while making it as easy as possible to stick the KFAILs back in the test suite if the same bug crops up again. > I still don't see what the point of the KPASS's is. Honestly, there isn't much of a point to them. They serve as a reminder to get rid of KFAILs once you've fixed a bug (because KPASSes will show up in the output of 'runtest' or 'make check'), and they might be useful if you're interested in tracking down exactly under what conditions a bug manifests itself. But I don't feel strongly about either of those issues; if nobody likes KPASS but me, then I have no objection to using plain old PASS instead. David Carlton carlton@math.stanford.edu
