WORKS! I'm out of English words; I just run mandel.pbc in pdb and it printed out such a cool Mandel bug or whatever(or maybe even Leon Brocard's fingerprints, who knows). Wow! >perl is running during the test keeping the file open. Parrot also >tries to open this file, does not catch this error and failes badly. >But why 'Can't spawn'? Nevermind. PIO has no concern with "Can't spawn". While make test I get this error every time after my windows 2000 spits out qq/Intsruction to the address (e.g.) 0x00401a8c addressed to memory to the address 0x00000069. Memory can't be "read"/; I received the error either when we had problems(at least on Win32) with printf formats in t/op/string.t. For example on my computer a test based on this C-code int main(int argc, char **argv) { printf("ok %s", 's'); return 0; } will end up with the same "Can't spawn".
