I don't think so.  It looks like the failing test is one that sets the 
'classic' locale explicitly:

FAIL :: default classic date
default classic date output: 10/13/4

The reason it's failing is that this output should be 10/13/04.  Honestly, 
this failure isn't much to lose sleep over.  The 'classic' locale output is so 
terrible and non-portable that no-one should use it anyway.  Looks like all 
the failures in this set of test cases comes down to this issue.
