Well, even I can't say I know if the failures are purely aesthetic as I 
haven't had a chance to test Olivier's patch yet ;)  Given that we've 
waited this long for 1.3.4, I'd rather spend a few more days making sure 
it's right rather than having to release a 1.3.5 at the end of next week.

The fact that the regression tests have flagged a discrepancy has 
already shown that the documentation is incorrect, and so we really need 
to work on making these tests pass on all platforms. Cutting a release 
which fails regression on one of the more popular platforms, or 
deliberately disabling them because they *do* fail could be setting us 
up for a bad fall...


ATB,

Mark.
