That's more than I've written up. There are a set of other tests I've collected over the years- some of them have this (like building directory trees 100 deep and removing them). Not much other than the SVVS tests has attempted to also fully test the positive and negative errors. I have had access to the SVVS source, but I suspect it's still encumbered so it oculdn't be used here. > > It would be nice to go through the man (2) pages and look at the > error code sections and write code that deliberately provokes as > many errors as possible.
