Possible mentors: Samuel Thibault (youpi)
-Exercise: Make some improvement to Perl/Python support on the Hurd, e.g. fixing one of
-the known test suite failures.
+Exercise: Take a stab at one of the testsuite failures,
+and write a minimal testcase exposing the underlying problem.
+Actually fixing it would be a bonus of course --
+but as it's hard to predict which issues will be easy and which will be tricky,
+we will already be satisfied if the student makes a good effort.
+(We hope to see some discussion of the problems in this case though :-) )
