Anyway, I seem to remember something on the list around the time of the FileDirectory fixes, about a change still needing to be made in the VM, or in the tests, or something. :-)
Yes, we need a VM fix for the Mac. The problem is that the Mac VM caches its lookup for directory entries, and doesn't invalidate the cache after you delete a directory. I submitted a(n untested) fix for the Mac VM, but I don't know if it was incorporated.
I'll look into that. for 3.4.0b3
Good. :-)
On Windows 2000 (3.2.3 VM / Tea 1.8 VM):
1 failed: TestUUIDPrimitives>>testCreationRandom (this failure was also in 3.2)
Mmm the testCreateRandom runs only if (UUID new asString last: 12) = (UUID new asString last: 12) is false, because I consider that if two UUID have the same last 12 octets then we must have a NIC card about. However I've heard that some flavors of Windows one-way hash the UUID so that regular folks cann't backtract to a particular nic. So I'm wondering what thouse two UUID being generated are would be. So could you send me a couple from the problem machine?
Unfortunately, that was my machine at work, which I probably won't have access to until next Thursday or so. (I just have a Mac at home.) If someone else with a Windows machine also sees this problem, perhaps they post the UUID's.
