Kernel.system() is more broken than I had imagined, passing only 50% of my tests. What is worse, the failures are not even reasonable. http://github.com/quix/system/tree/master Perhaps I could find a ruby-core member to bless some version of my specification, at which point a real patch for the interpreter could be made. In the meantime Rake is a good testbed for pounding on the spec. If we can cover the outstanding problems, or at least as many as possible, we may have a case for actually fixing these things (to the extent possible). For Win32 I currently have no assertion failures, but one error in the teardown of test_rules (which seems not a big problem). There's a skipped test in test_fileutils.rb which may be a question of interpolation. So, what are the outstanding issues and are there failing tests for them? James M.
