Who looks after re-normalizing these? Or should we codify ignoring these?
These happen because the stage 3 build failed, so the test suite was run using
the stage 2 compiler, which is build with DEBUG on and hence emits lots of trace
messages that are not expected by the test suite. So the test failures are
bogus. It would be nice if this didn't happen, somehow. Perhaps there should
be a way to disable trace messages for the purposes of the test suite.
However, there is a real issue with the amount of iterating that the simplifier
is doing, which Simon PJ knows about.
Cheers,
Simon
