OK, I just checked the latest CVS and test_re succeeds. But should't
this fixed for 2.3.4 as well?

Another problem not there in the CVS version is an error in test_sax,
that fails for me on 2.3.4c1 with

>echo test_sax > tests
>make test TESTOPTS="-l -ftests -v"

self.getLineNumber() is None if I check using pdb, but what
disconcerts me is the 

  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages/_xmlplus/sax/_exceptions.py", line 94, in __str__

line. Why is sax taken from the installed version instead of the
2.3.4c1 version.
