Note that the tests have now moved to GIT:

$ git-clone git://repo.or.cz/zeroinstall.git
$ cd zeroinstall/tests
$ ./testall.py

However, they still hang when used with the latest plash:

$ dpkg --status plash
Version: 1.18.svn.2007-11-20-1652-1gutsy1

Plash seems to have trouble when stderr isn't writeable:

$ cat hi
cat: hi: No such file or directory
$ cat hi 2</dev/null
$ pola-run -B -e cat hi 2</dev/null
[ hangs ]

Thanks,
