Re: [9fans] Plan 9 Go 386

[Skip Tavakkolian <skip.tavakkolian@gmail.com>]

I sent a message on a thread earlier about broken procs when running 'go test std' -- test of template/html is one of those that broken -- that seems to indicate resource limit problems because running each test individually passes without a problem.  Does the test fail if you 'go test' in the pkg/template/html directory?
