Well, that is all true. But it really has little to do with parallel testing, it is simply a faulty assumption. Today I'm working on something else and still haven't shutdown my machine since then, so I still have a file /tmp/t, so the tests still fail. I *could* delete that file, but what if that just happens to be my favorite empty file of all time? But if I look at it deeper, the Parrot::IO code only exists for ./tools/docs/write_docs.pl? Oh, and a bunch of the codingstd tests? --Eric
