Among other things, the test suite is currently going into various infinite loops. I nailed one today, but there are others. Actually, these problems should be relatively easy to reproduce. For example, you could build a fresh copy of perl and hand edit it's Config.pm to include a bogus library (e.g. add -lbogus to it's libs variable) and use that perl to build parrot. Another thing you could do is simply never load init::defaults. Load the correct Config instead. -- Andy Dougherty [EMAIL PROTECTED]
