[Uuu-testing] FRuSTRaTiON 0.4 beta 20011218

[Phil F. <da...@xg...>]

I have created 2 beta floppy images for FRuSTRaTiON 0.4. They include 
the new strontium ][ thread engine and a few misc. tweaks. They are 
located at:

the 0001 images are what's on CVS as of Wed Dec 19 03:48:40 UTC 2001. 
The 0002 images are the same but with a suspected memory corruptor 
disabled: the log buffer.

* things to test *

test #1:
Most of all, just thrash the system. Run programs over and over in rapid 
sucession, start 20 ishes, run some programs, close a few, run more. 
When all processes have terminated you should get a message to press 
enter to reboot.

test #2:
Also, test the beeping by hitting tab in ish. It should be a high A for 
a duration of 0.1 secconds. Also try holding down tab or hitting it in 
rapid sucession so that many beeps are beeping at once.

test #3:
Also try cding to a directory that doesn't exist (it should work) and 
then executing ls. Ish should say "app returned error 17" and nothing 
should crash.

test #4:
If the 0001 image won't work for you, try the 0002 image. Also there 
have been some reports of different behaviour between tries, so if it 
doesn't work, or if it does and you have some extra time.

test #5:
Run the 'memstat' program. Nothing incredibly impressive here; you 
should get a total amount of memory that's a little less than the total 
you have installed and about 100KB used. used+free should equal total :P

* what to do after testing *

If possible, please submit your results via the SF uuu-testing tracker at
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=add&group_id=23202&atid=430301
(please log in first if you have a SF account) If you are unable to 
submit via the tracker you can email me directly. I'd like to get a 
quick message from all people if the test works or not. In your results 
please include:

- your type of CPU (intel/amd, 386/486/etc)
- how much RAM you have installed
- what type of keyboard you have (AT or PS/2)
- any other hardware information you think could be relevant

Include the last 5 or so lines of text output. Also look up in the 
upper-left corner for any numbers and note them, if present. A complete 
list of everything you did from the time uuu booted until the bug was 
found is extremely helpfull.

Thank you for your help in testing Uuu. Good luck!
