[kaffe] Regression Test Failures on m68k Amiga

Of the 129 tests in /test/regression, 112 run successfully on my Amiga. O=
f
those that don't, several fail because they print their output lines in t=
he wrong
order, compared to the "expected output". =


My question is, is this really a failure? Does it represent some disastro=
us
failure-to-schedule-threads-in-the-right-order?
Or is it no problem at all? =


A typical example is /test/regression/CatchDeath.java. The expected outpu=
t
is:
CD Caught java.lang.ThreadDeath
CSD Caught java.lang.ThreadDeath
CSWD Caught java.lang.ThreadDeath

What it gets is
CD Caught java.lang.ThreadDeath
CSWD Caught java.lang.ThreadDeath
CSD Caught java.lang.ThreadDeath

- which is counted as a failure.

cheers
