It isn't, after doing some testing on abel, i observe this strange behavior :
   build/default/node /home/kapouer/nodejs/nodejs-0.4.12/test/simple/test-buffer.js
never outputs errors,
while
   python tools/test.py simple/test-buffer
always does.

I'm stuck.

PS: wild cc-ing nodejs-dev, in case someone there already knows why :)
    the test mentionned above is the only one failing, and it's been there for a long time.
