Thanks, I misread the patch. After reading through conformtest.pl and
run-conformtest.sh, I see no reason why the tests should need to use
your HOME directory. I think it's appropriate for the tests to use the
build directory as a default place for tests files.
Please checkin in your changes on Wednesday if nobody has come up with
a better patch.
We can revisit this later as we look at the other tests and their use
of /tmp or $TMPDIR.
Cheers,
Carlos.
