Is it necessary, I mean really necessary to distinguish this system? It's quite an old installation [that ain't broke so I ain't fixed it] and the difference is only the error message. I hadn't even looked to see if there was a better expected output file, just accepted it as a normal, acceptable variation in the regression tests. I don't know anything about how the tests are put together so I'd have to look into that before suggesting a way to differentiate my system. Having said that wouldn't the 3.3-RELEASE string be sufficient? -- Nigel J.
