Re: 1.5.8 "make check" on powerpc

[Dirk Herrmann]

Hello,

although I have to admit that I have not looked into those specific test
cases myself I would like to point out the following:  Some UNRESOLVED
issues may be due to guile's garbage collection:  You can not guarantee
that something gets collected, although you expect it to.  The reason is
that guile scans the C execution stack for potential references to
objects.  Some non-SCM values may irritate the gc and keep objects from
being collected.  The two cases below might belong to such a category.
Probably we should clarify this issue in the names of the test cases.

Best regards, 
Dirk Herrmann
