I'll take a look on those.

The patch is in CVS already.

Can you send me the .diff file? I've also fixed some issues recently, so maybe 
you could rerun the tests? BTW, if you have problems with CVS access, you can 
get:

I don't know how often it's updated, but seems like changes appear there

we'll handle other toolsets.
