No not at the moment. 
I guess, You have to take my word for it. Why the test program cant create 
tables have something to do with the user not having the right access 
permissions. I have tried to sort that out but failed. 

Ofcourse I see the test program as a very good thing to have, but I really 
dont see that it should be used as the things that decides if a driver goes 
into stable or not.

Ok fair enough. Is the CVS taged for 8.0 so that we can start to commit things 
that are going into 0.9?
