That's actually somewhat by design. Some things can be merged, but the state that we didn't want to be in was having a previous test break the next test... Thus the reason for the complete restart. (the current test suite was actually designed in the beginning by an ex-co-worker of mine and has been heavily rewritten since then actually. He was an sh fanatic, can you tell?).

I started doing that a while ago, actually... all the SNMPv1 tests are currently done in a single file now instead of as originally written, which was one test per file. -- Wes Hardaker Sparta, Inc. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
