 From the log files of a test run done at home using the 8.4/8.5/8.6 branch 
heads from the fossil repository, with no additional packages (no tcllibc, no 
Trf, no TLS, no wish (but Tk), (*)) I have the following summary of problems:

The ERR parts are aborts of test files. That can be improper handling when 
called for an unsupported Tcl version, up to an actual crash of the tclsh. I'll 
have to read the detailed logs to know. The FAILS simply mean that some tests 
failed (see last column for the count).

For 'pki' I got updated code from Roy. I'll redo its tests after putting this 
into CVS. After that my own focus will be on

	math
	doctools
	pop3(d)
	pt

in this order. Anybody taking these on should tell me and/or work in a 
different order.

Stu (I believe) reported on the chat, that the SSL certificates I use for some 
parts of comm and pop3 are expired. This should not be an issue here as the Tcl 
shells did not have the TLS package available and thus are not (well, should 
not) run the the associated tests.

I will add the accelerators and other binary helper packages (tcllibc, Trf, 
TLS) after the first round of fixes, work things slowly up to the full 
testsuite, with wish and whatnot.


(*) That means that this has not run the full testsuite of all packages, only 
the truly pure-Tcl parts.
