Re: sharutils-4.6.3 test failures

[Bruce Korb]

Hi Nelson,

Thank you for the report.  It certainly would be handy to have
some more information.  The test uses the newly built shar
to copy a subset of the distribution into a scribble directory
(usually /tmp) and then does a recursive compare to ensure
that the two directories look the same.  SO, look in /tmp and/
or ${TMPDIR} and see if it is still around.  If not, I'll have to make
it more verbose and we can try a new version of test/shar-3.  :)

Thanks again for all your help with my various projects.

Regards, Bruce
