The two tests that were failing were due to bad tests, see my comments in the
CVS logs...

They're fixed now in any case.

Just leaves the XMLParser test failure. This looks like a genuine bad. It looks
like expat misbehaving so I tried installing Python 2.1.2. Still fails in the
same way. Maybe one of the PythonLabs guys could help out?
