I was not too concerned when I saw it.

Well this is the hard core old Oracle Fujitsu sparc boxen thus :

This has worked very well for a long long long time and I think I was
running nightly builds of curl for a while here also. However I don't
really do that anymore as this is a edge case machine to say the least.
Fully under a support contract however.

Looking just at some recent builds I see :

So all in all pretty darn amazing results on this old platform. However
it has the benefit of being a very very strictly compliant POSIX type
UNIX and generally if things work well here then they work everywhere.

That is the dream at least :)

Let's ignore this as a minor nit.

However .... brace yourself as FreeBSD 12.0 RELEASE on tier1 amd64 has
fallen to pieces right in front of me :

TESTDONE: 1070 tests out of 1111 reported OK: 96%
TESTFAIL: These test cases failed: 582 600 601 602 603 604 605 608 609
610 611 612 613 614 615 616 617 618 619 620 621 622 623 624 625 626 627
633 634 635 636 637 638 639 640 641 642 664 665 1446 2004
TESTDONE: 1364 tests were considered during 438 seconds.

So that is a whole other discussion.

I almost fell out of my chair ... streaming live ( as you do ) and I am
now live https://www.twitch.tv/lastmiles trying to figure out what
happened where and how??
