You are welcome... Some one beat me to directing you to my own
site. :)

The failure with geometry is an off by one error in the nth
decimal place, in other words harmless (providing you are not calculating
trajectories for an interplanetary space mission :).
The other two should not have failed. Have you tried diffing the
results against the expected results? Often times timezones being
misconfigured can cause strange problems. If there is nothing obvious in
the resulting diffs (i.e. nothing that can be traced to a local problem),
please email the regression results to me (an attached .tgz is fine), and
I will take a look. TTYL.
