The failing test case are:

gen_stream_SUITE:block_buffers_file	SLES10_debug, WinXP, Solaris10
=== location {gen_stream_SUITE,1325}
=== reason = no match of right hand side value 
                 {proc_info,[{requested,2},
                             {active,2},
                             {pids,[<0.22755.2>,<0.22756.2>]}]}
  in function  gen_stream_SUITE:block_buffer_info/6
  in call from gen_stream_SUITE:'-block_buffers_file/1-lc$^0/1-0-'/4
  in call from gen_stream_SUITE:block_buffers_file/1
  in call from test_server:my_apply/3
  in call from test_server:ts_tc/3
  in call from test_server:run_test_case_eval1/6
  in call from test_server:run_test_case_eval/8
KindOf, the pids vary between platforms...

  gen_stream_SUITE:num_buffers_file	SLES10_debug, WinXP, Solaris10
=== location {gen_stream_SUITE,1258}
=== reason = no match of right hand side value 
                 {proc_info,[{requested,2},
                             {active,2},
                             {pids,[<0.22650.2>,<0.22651.2>]}]}
  in function  gen_stream_SUITE:buffer_file_info/4
  in call from gen_stream_SUITE:'-num_buffers_file/1-lc$^0/1-0-'/3
  in call from gen_stream_SUITE:num_buffers_file/1
  in call from test_server:my_apply/3
  in call from test_server:ts_tc/3
  in call from test_server:run_test_case_eval1/6
  in call from test_server:run_test_case_eval/8
KindOf, the pids vary between platforms...

  gen_stream_SUITE:num_procs_file	WinXP
=== location {gen_stream_SUITE,1170}
=== reason = no match of right hand side value 
                 {proc_info,[{requested,1},{active,1},{pids,[<0.22480.2>]}]}
  in function  gen_stream_SUITE:proc_file_info/4
  in call from gen_stream_SUITE:'-num_procs_file/1-lc$^0/1-0-'/3
  in call from gen_stream_SUITE:num_procs_file/1
  in call from test_server:my_apply/3
  in call from test_server:ts_tc/3
  in call from test_server:run_test_case_eval1/6
  in call from test_server:run_test_case_eval/8

shell_SUITE:start_restricted_from_shell	All Platforms
