I have the fix from Marko for this in my queue ... running QA now, but
all non-ASCII-related failures at least should go away shortly.
The 662 issue remains a mystery though, and seems a recent regression
unrelated to any known issue so far. On the TODO list, but I mightn't
get to it until next week.

They're often legitimate issues, so it'd be good if you could continue to
report 'em. Alot of this is pmrep-related which I think is settling down
now after its recent brain transplant ... so we should see this return to
stability very soon I expect.
