I've just built 2 copies of PHP 5.2.9 from scratch on different linux versions (with very slightly different configurations).

In the first case make test returns 40 errors (from 6529 tests) (0.6% of tests which were run fail) In the second case 54 (0.8%) of 6550 tests fail.

That's a lot of tests failing. It should build cleanly.

Did all tests run when 5.2.9 was released? Who knows. Maybe its just developers failing to run and update tests when code is updated. Maybe its even more serious.
