I remember, when I was a child, reading a parable about a bunch of monkeys who complained about their leaky roof, but every time the sun came out, they always ran around and played and never fixed that roof. Then the rain would return and they'd huddle inside and complain about the leaky roof. I know subtest() needs to be fixed. However, the next time this issue comes around (and there *will* be a next time if we don't plan for it :) it would be nice if the roof was fixed (or at lest less leaky). The great thing about pointing out this issue and asking module authors to address this is that it's NOT an emergency. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go play in the sunshine.
