Hi All,

A preview of the situation with testing 2.23.0.rc0 on NonStop is not great. We have had some new failures right off the bat on our NonStop platforms. This is a preview of what we find within the first bit of testing. The tests run a long time, so more to come.

t0016: oidmap

Subtest 6 had an ordering issue. We do not know whether the problem is the code or the test result not keeping up with the code changes. --- expect 2019-07-30 16:56:36 +0000 +++ actual 2019-07-30 16:56:36 +0000

Subtest 4 depends on a non-portable error code. ENOENT is not guaranteed to be the same on all systems. It is 4002 on NonStop and 2 on many other machines.
