Recently I made some changes in the trunk which provoked failure accross all 
platforms.  Since I made more changes to correct the mistake, about half the 
platforms now pass the in failing test.  I'm suspecting that the failing 
tests are some sort of artifact from the test system.  The reason I suspect 
this is at some platforms pass and others fail - even with the same 
compiler/library configuration.  How can this be?
