Could you comment on this from the newgroup on the 2.03 test?
I didn't see anything in the refresh which should change this.

Maybe the dostest.bat was built/tested with new CVS ware?

...(snipage about good things)

The dostest.bat which was designed to overcome this bug by splitting the tests
in chunks of 250  will no more be necessary when/if this version will be
uploaded to simtelnet. Meanwhile do not use it "as is" with this version
because it triggers an other bug ... apparently  the maximum length of the
command line which can be passed from dostest.bat to make has been  somewhat
decreased: it works if the tests are split in chunks of only 128 ...
The following diff will do the job:

This diff can be included without harm in next gpc snapshots.
Meanwhile a file gpc-test-20011202.zip (with modified dostest.bat) has been uploaded to agnes in the 
same directory as above for people wanting to check this version of gpc with Windows 2000 / XP.
(The test suite is not included with the binaries).
