OK - the situation is that you have a test that's failing. We don't
know if the fault lies in Ruby, or in the test making assumptions that
aren't true under FreeBSD.

So, let's find out _why_ the test is failing. Could you insert the
following at line 985 in your file sample/test.rb:

          test_ok(`./miniruby -x script_tmp` == 'nil')
ADD>>     $stderr.puts `./miniruby -x script_tmp -zzz=555`.inspect
          test_ok(`./miniruby -x script_tmp -zzz=555` == '555')

and cut-n-paste the output from 'make test' back into an e-mail.

Could you also show us what './ruby -v' says.


Thanks


Dave
