Arnaud is right, the "standard" test suite contains errors.
I know that I had to fix some bugs in the XML script used to
drive the conformance test as well as repair the damage
caused by CVS/tar to newlines, etc. on the expected output.
Hopefully this situation will improve in the next version
of the suite. 

So when I run tests, I use my augmented conformance suite 
of files. And even with that I get some spurious errors. So
I run the tests twice: once before affecting a change and
again afterwards. Then I compare the results of both to see
if there are any regressions.
