Pegasus 2.10.0 Test Failure on Windows

All,

 

My apologies if this is the incorrect forum for this question.

 

I have built 2.10.0 on Windows 7 using the command line compiler within
MSVS 2005 (PEGASUS_PLATFORM=WIN32_IX86_MSVC). The build completes
successfully. When I run make alltests, TestMessageSerializer fails with
"Exception: Bad opening element: on line 1". Tracing the failure in
src/Pegasus/Common/tsets/MessageSerializer/MessageSerializer.cpp shows
that testCIMGetInstanceResponseMessage() is failing when called with an
uninitialized CIMInstance (line  2923 of MessageSerializer.cpp). The
BAD_START_TAG exception is actually thrown within
XmlParser.cpp:_getElement() because the xml content is just garbage. 

 

My question: is this test (the call to
testCIMGetInstanceResponseMessage() with an uninitialized CIMInstance
object) a valid condition? Should this call actual fail or is the
failure an actual indication of some other problem?

 

Thank You in advance.
