Here are some test results on OpenBSD/amd64, with an 800 MB data
size liimit and with pthread support disabled (several people had
serious trouble with pthread support enabled for ghc-6.12.2, so I
disabled it in our port until I've time to debug that problem).
I've used the ghc-6.12 branch from the darcs repository for it; a
build with the official release candidate (plus the --with-gmp-*
patch recently pushed) is still running.

Executive summary: looks quite good. The only failure that *really*
puzzles me is the num009 one.

I've added some remarks to the list of unexpected failures below.


OVERALL SUMMARY for test run started at Thu May 27 19:11:36 CEST 2010
    2383 total tests, which gave rise to
    7689 test cases, of which
       0 caused framework failures
    1605 were skipped

    5872 expected passes
     178 expected failures
       0 unexpected passes
      34 unexpected failures

Unexpected failures:
   concprog001(ghci)
	==> out of memory (probably harmless)

   getUserEntryForName(normal,optc,hpc,optasm,ghci)
	==> known (by me) issue. probably a bug/incompatibility in OpenBSD

   hClose003(normal,optc,hpc,optasm,ghci)
	==> did not investigate yet. failure details (for the normal
	    way) below

   hReady002(ghci)
	==> did not investigate yet. failure details below

   num009(normal,optc,hpc,optasm,ghci)
	==> no idea. failure details below

   openFile008(normal,optc,hpc,optasm,ghci)
	==> too many open files. limits were too tight on my system,
	    I'll have to retest with higher limits

   queryfdoption01(normal,optc,hpc,optasm)
	==> unsupported operation. rings a bell here, I'll look at it
	    next weekend

   signals002(normal,optc,hpc,optasm,ghci)
	==> wrong exit code (150, expected 0). not yet investigated.

   simpl015(optc,optasm)
	==> out of memory (in the compiler). (probably harmless)

   testblockalloc(normal)
	==> out of memory. (probably harmless)
