I get this on Linux-Mandrake 7.1:

test_minidom
test test_minidom failed -- Writing: ' ', expected: '\012'
1 test failed: test_minidom

Note that the test output contains reprs of instance objects using the <foo.MyClass instance at xxxx> form, and this is about as non-portable as it gets.  Just running the test script directly (not via regrtest.py) does not produce any failures.

The test needs to be modified to produce portable output, with non-portable output reserved for verbose mode.
