Re: testing results for TRUNK (sun4u SunOS 5.9)

[Derek Price]

Jim, would you mind rewriting your watch6-0 tests without using the -qE
options to grep, since they are GNU grep specific?  I would prefer not
introducing a new tool dependency if we can avoid it.  The rest of the
test suite goes to a lot of effort to be portable.

Regards,

Derek
