[Mike Melanson]

Hi,

The following regression test is broken on PowerPC (gcc 4.1.2):

If anyone can suggest a revision where it might have last worked, I can
test it.


Also, I have decided to add 'make test' as a test specification in FATE:

  http://fate.multimedia.cx/index.php?test_spec=128

I have been talking forever about how I want to split up the regressions
into individual tests. But I still need to do a bunch of work before I
get there. This test spec is not logging any output data (there is just
too much), just noting TRUE or FALSE whether the overall suite
succeeded. Takis has demonstrated that it's useful to at least have a
warning bell for when the overall suite is broken.
