For OpenBSD, the failures above are regressions from 6.3, and I think
it's safe to assume they're regressions for Linux too.  They were
still OK in 6.3.50.20050911-cvs, and I think remembering I've already
seen them fail in early november.  Don't know if this is serious
enough to delay the release.  I'll try to track this down, and
hopefully will find the problem.  If it's too late for 6.4 we should
release 6.4.1 with the fix.
