It takes *over eight minutes*. I suppose this is because the sheer number of test cases adds a lot of shell overhead on Windows. I wonder if it's better to rewrite this test in C instead. We start to do some more unit testing here and there and kind of abuse the sh-based test framework for this. Having a proper unit test framework would be good anyway since it's sometimes hard to create a specific scenario with high level commands. -- Duy
