Hello,

Thanks for the report.  The failure is:

  FAIL: gc.test: gc: Lexical vars are collectable

Unfortunately, this test exercises the garbage collector, and its
failure does not always indicate a problem.

Since this is the only GC-related failure here, I would ignore it.

So I’m closing the bug.

Thanks,
Ludo’.

Can I just add that a failing test that doesn't indicate a problem is
rather annoying. Can this specific test be removed or disabled if it
can't be improved?

I agree.  If we're going to ignore these failures (which seems
reasonable), then it should at least be downgraded to a warning,
and not cause the 'make check' to fail.  IMO anyway.

     Thanks,

Yes, agreed.  Fixed by commit 86fafc4.

Thanks,
