Hello

The FAIL was already registered to the bug tracker.

https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=35364

The error seems to be independent of platforms.

All of these tests pass on Fedora 16 where I am using GCC 4.6.2.  The test 
failed on Lion where I am using 4.5.3.  What are you using on MinGW?
