Thanks!

None of these seem to actually be bugs in monotone:
  - 4 of the failures in each case are because you ran the testsuite
    as root, and apparently that makes cvs cranky.  (we use cvs in
    several tests of monotone's cvs_import functionality.)
  - 1 failure is because your Suse 9.3 box doesn't have 'patch'
    installed, which causes the test that makes sure monotone's 'diff'
    output is compatible with 'patch', to fail.
  - 1 failure is very strange.  It looks like we ran something like:
      $ mkdir /tmp/scratch-space; cd /tmp/scratch-space
      $ mkdir foo/
      $ mv foo/ bar/
    and the mv failed with "no such directory bar/".  I don't really
    understand why this would be so, unless Suse 9.3 has some sort of
    strange mv command?
