keep in mind that those are *old* results (although, of course, some of it will still be relevant). i'll update those pages as soon as -rc1 is out. unsurprisingly, some of that is historical cruft that's been around a *looooong* time. very little of it represents actual breakage but, occasionally, those scans will reveal actual typoes.
