Re: Getweb problem ?

Francis,

It looks like getweb is running correctly on your system, despite the
failure of two of the 31 regression test scripts.  The regression
tests are extremely sensitive to the slightest difference in the
getweb output from what it expects, so the failure of those two
regression tests doesn't necessarily indicate a problem.

Hopefully, I'll get some time within the next couple of weeks to pin
down the exact cause of the regression test failing, but if not, I
wouldn't worry about it.
