they are still able to test or want to hand it off to someone else):

Have I missed any success reports? Have I left out any platforms known
to be good or bad (or which *should* be reported)? Sorry if I've missed
anything; over time there is a lot flying around for which I'm not sure
the result (AIX and QNX come to mind for examples).

QNX6 will fail in 7.2.X.  We have patches for 7.3.  I believe AIX is
fine thanks to work done a few weeks ago by Tatuso and others.  However,
I am not totally sure.

I have been troubled by 7.2b3/AIX 5L combo. The parallel regression
test hangs in the middle of the test. It seems backend goes into an
idle state and it happens nothing after that.

I have been on a business trip till this week end. I will start to dig
into more next week.

Re: Call for platform testing
I've upgraded to OpenUNIX 8, and all is well.  

It probably passes on UW 7 as well, but I can no longer test it.

I'm not familiar with SCO products. Is OU 8 the successor to UW 7, or is
it a different product line? Do I need two entries in the list? I'm
still not clear on the differences between that and OpenServer 5 (other
than version of course) and whether that should (still) be listed as
"untested and possibly unsupported".

Hmm. Looking at Caldera's web site, it lists all three as separate
products :(

If these product lines are feature-compatible, could we just list "SCO"
as supported, and in the comments mention "tested on OpenUnix 8"?

Anyone else running other variants of SCO?

OU8 is UW 7 + LKP (Linux Kernel Personality) + Bug Fixes.

OSR5 is the old Sco 3.2 stuff, and is a totally different
beast/codeset.

I would POSSIBLY combine OU8 and UW7, but NOT OSR5.

OK, I'll just do one entry for both UW and OU. Love those name changes
:(

Maybe I'll just remove mention of it altogether. Either it is
supportable because it is Unix-y and somewhat compatible with other SCO
products, or it isn't, but it isn't worth guessing at either way unless
someone can test it.

If the first name doesn't succeed, try, try again.  :-)

Re: Call for platform testing
OK, the list is getting smaller fast (thanks for all of the responses!).
Here is what I have left currently (note the addition of NetBSD/sparc,
which I had inadvertently omitted from the first list):

BeOS         Cyril Velter
Linux/arm    Mark Knox
Linux/s390   Neale Ferguson
NetBSD/arm32 Patrick Welche
NetBSD/m68k  Bill Studenmund (will test)
NetBSD/sparc Matthew Green (left off the first list)
NetBSD/VAX   Tom I. Helbekkmo
QNX          (did I get a definitive report for 4.x already?)
SunOS        Tatsuo Ishii (old release; still relevant?)
Windows/Cygwin Daniel Horak (OK in serial test, trouble with parallel
test?)
Windows/native Magnus Hagander (clients only)

I'm curious about the Windows/Cygwin trouble, and if others see it too,
since the -cygwin mailing list seems to report happiness with 7.1.3.

Tatsuo, do you think that we should still track SunOS explicitly?

Are there any other platforms we are running on?

This seems to be a little drastic, just because one company ships two
separate products and everyone is confused about why they would do that.
Quite a few people do use OpenServer (successfully, after a few patches
against 7.1 which made it into 7.2), but if no one ends up submitting a
test result it will simply stay in the unsupported area.
