Hi, I just checked out the Python CVS head, ran configure and compiled succesfully on FreeBSD 5.0. I then ran 'make tests', and had two failing tests. I don't think these errors are related to FreeBSD5.0, so I post them here. Can somebody add the lists of tests for 'freebsd5' to regrtest.py, and have a look at these tracebacks?
