I used to do (amongst other things) X/Open validation work. Believe me
that you are going for your friendly colleagues throats when the XPG
suite falls over once more.

Generally say 4 - 5 runs were needed to get everything thru the
XPG. And that was only XPG/2. XPG > 2 is worse. The SVVS (SVID test)
is a piece of &*^*( 

And don't talk about bugs in your infallible test suite..

Sigh... 

And who writes this flawless testsuite BTW?
