      released this way.
  
+ Failing test cases need to get fixed
+ 
+     We need to resolve errors in the regression test suite quickly.
+     Changes should not be committed to the CVS tree unless the
+     regression test runs cleanly with the changes applied.  If it
+     fails, there may be bugs lurking in the code.  (There may be bugs
+     anyway, but that's another matter.)  If the test cases are known
+     to fail, they serve no useful purpose.
+ 
+     The current test suite runs correctly on my Linux box (July 26).
+     Heard reports that test_fork1 fails on some Linux boxes and that
+     test_winreg and test_winreg32 fail on Windows.
+ 
+ Open items -- should be done/fixed
+ 
+     Decoding errors when comparing strings.  There is a dictionary bug
+     that prevents objects from being accessible when an exception is
+     raised during hashing or comparison.

  Accepted and completed
