[discussion of regtest failures] I suspect the regtest system would be more robust if we allowed multiple acceptable test results. What I mean is, instead of the required stderr output being in testname.stderr.exp, we also allow testname.stderr.exp1, testname.stderr.exp2, etc, and the test passes if the stderr matches any of these files. Ditto for the .stdout.exp files. This makes it robust against the problem where due to minor glibc differences etc in distros, fixing it on one disto breaks it on others -- which is the root cause I reckon of a lot of the breakage.
