    35 <para>As discussed earlier, we don't recommend running the test suites for the
    36 temporary tools here in this chapter. If you still want to run the Tcl test
    37 suite anyway, the following command will do so. However, you should be aware
    38 that the Tcl test suite is sometimes known to experience failures under certain
    39 host conditions that are not fully understood. Therefore, test suite failures
    40 here are not surprising, but are not considered critical:</para>

    54 <para>Sometimes package test suites will give false failures. You can

    56 failures are normal. This applies to all tests throughout the book.</para>
