I would be very surprised if it did as it could not possible pass the 
conformance tests if it did.

The test gl-min-textures.html has a shader which looks like:

"uniform sampler2D uni[8];
void main()
{
     vec4 c = vec4(0,0,0,0);
     for (int ii = 0; ii < NUM_TEXTURES; ++ii) {
       c += texture2D(uni[ii], vec2(0.5, 0.5));
     }
     gl_FragColor = c;
}"

That is preventing us from passing the conformance tests on some GLES 
implementations.

There is also an unrolled version of the test which does not use dynamic 
indexing of sampler arrays - gl-min-textures-unroll.html. Do the persons 
who wrote those two tests (svn indicates Gregg and Mo) know if there are 
any known problems with the unrolled version or if we can just switch to 
using that?
