Yep, and the "merlin-" here is just referring to a particular machine. These are both tests which can have intermittent failures due to their non-deterministic nature (waiting for the garbage collector to kick in and free memory/run finalizers). You might want to make sure the tests pass over multiple runs but generally speaking if they pass once then things are working. _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users@lists.ironpython.com http://lists.ironpython.com/listinfo.cgi/users-ironpython.com
