On August 10 -- that's more than a week ago -- I gave you a list of 5 areas to prioritize, in order. Further work on the EINTR tests falls under #4 on that list, but you've spent more than a week focused on that and done very little on #1-3. Every time I've communicated with you since then, I've been asking you to follow the priority list I gave you, and furthermore not to spend all your time on one thing. It's not that the EINTR tests are useless (although you've certainly covered the most important ones already); it's that you're spending disproportionate amounts of time on them when there's A LOT else to be done. Think of your work on GSoC as painting a portrait and yourself as the artist. If a deadline were approaching and you kept adding details on the nose without ever addressing the fact that the ears were lopsided and the eyes and mouth hadn't even been started, how could anyone evaluate your work?
