Thanks for the report.  Any reason why you are focusing on 2.60, rather
than the latest?

How does the testsuite fare for 2.68 or the latest git head?  If the
tests pass using newer code, then you can chalk these failures up to
bugs in the older testsuite, and probably avoid any worries about them.
 And at that point, you could use a git bisect to determine exactly
which patch fixed the failures, and cherry-pick just that patch back to
your older checkout point.  On the other hand, if the failures still
persist with the latest sources, then you're more likely to get ideas
for debugging since it is still a real problem worth fixing.
