It would be interesting to see how things fail ... I guess I should 
change the test script to output a diff  between the expected result ad 
the actual result on failure.

Received ;)

In a funny coincidence, I was jus last night looking at the buildd 
output and comparing thigs to see where the massive errors in some vs. 
none in others configurations may come from. The buildds are great for 
that, thanks for making them go the extra mile to improve the quality of 
free software.

I've been lately lookig at the odd platform specific issues, and trying 
to bring them down, starting with sparc, atm. I hope to be able to feed 
something to experimental soon.

cheers,
