I have temporary access to a Mac OSX box. I find the following problems: - test_re crashes unless I do ulimit -s 2000 -- haven't tried other values, but the default of 512 (KB) is insufficient. I know the README file explains this, but now that I've experienced this myself, I wonder if we shouldn't hack main() to increase the stack size to 2 MB, inside an #ifdef darwin or something like that. - test_socket fails with errno 3, 'Unknown server error' on a socket.gethostbyaddr() call. Does anybody know what that is about? - test_locale fails with a complaint about "1,024" vs. "1024". Since this is probably a libc bug (though wouldn't this also occur on other BSD systems?) I can live with it. - test_largefile takes a *very* long time. Perhaps it actually creates a truly large file (the Mac OSX filesystem is case insensitive, so I suppose it may be so different that it doesn't support files with holes in them). Maybe the test should disable itself (or part of itself) unless a specific resource is requested? --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
