Hi,

I've compiled mono from svn sources and am getting a number of failurs 
in the corlib regression test:

Tests run: 4512, Failures: 83, Not run: 80

A number of failures look like they happen on suspiciously trivial 
tests. For example:

7) MonoTests.System.ConvertTest.TestToSByte : Unexpected exception at 
iTest = 4:
 e = NUnit.Framework.AssertionException: #M04 ^M
        expected:<15>^M
         but was:<16>

so I'm wondering

1. Are these failures expected?
2. What could I be doing wrong?

Background:

- Gentoo Linux running 2.4.26 kernel
- glibc 2.3.4
- gcc 3.3.4
- svn source revision 36703
- bootstrap install of mono 1.0.4
- rebuilt mono using itself, no change in regressions
