Some tests are failing because the additional args are not in the .exp file (so this is normal). A handfull of tests are failing (at the end of the test) with: --31431:0:aspacem Valgrind: FATAL: I/O error on /proc/self/maps --31431:0:aspacem Exiting now. (e.g. none/tests/pth_exit) Did not investigate yet, probably (?) not a big deal. Philippe |
