Is it okay to beef up the test harness code a little on the 2.2 maintenance branch? I'm installing 2.2.2 on a Solaris 8 machine at the moment and notice two small warts:

* -u all isn't accepted

* there are no sunos5 expected skips

Any problem adding them for 2.2.3 if they aren't already in CVS (they may already be there)? More generally, is improving the test harness okay (not strictly a bug fix) since it doesn't directly affect the performance of the interpreter?

Thx,

Skip
