Please don't provide this little information. At *least* provide the diff files. In most cases, test failures are however because of simple changes on the system and it is *important* that you compile PHP from source and not use a distribution's package. Test failures are also not necessarily bugs.

i AM compiling from source. i agree that test failures may be due to a bogus test, but these have been in use for some time now and errors should be corrected or the bugs noted. since var_dump is hardly an arcane, little-used function; i would imagine problems should be afforded some timely attention.

	--disable-cgi	\

He wasn't asking for patches.  Whenever a test fails and .diff file is 
generated for that test that shows the difference between the expected 
output and the actual output of the test.  Without those, your bug 
reports of failed tests are useless.  We have no idea whether it is a 
local configuration issue, a compile issue or a genuine bug that might 
be causing it.

OH! THOSE diff files.

i am sorry, i am normally quite content to wait for rpm's to float down from centos, but i need 5.2.12 for an nginx install i feel i need to do to handle a volume situation. since i rarely use source to install, i had completely forgotten about the test diff's being created.

they are all available here:

http://4ssl.us/webdev/

these include three fails that were 'expected' which i have yet had time to look into why that is so.

Fixed in all branches in SVN.

Note: This was propably caused by someone having weird editor with weird EOL-style, also the svn:eol-style was set incorrectly. Now the output and properties are same as with the 32bit version of the test.

when you say 'svn', am i to gather that these changes are *not* back-ported to released versions such as, most importantly for myself, 5.2.12?

There is no time machine around..do not reopen this anymore.
