Right.

Does the regression test the optional interfaces such as tcl and odbc?

Here are the fails:

timestamp ... FAILED
test geometry ... FAILED
test horology ... FAILED

The geometry fails appear to be because of differences in the extremes
of floating point precision, except for this case:

That 0 / -0 mismatch might cause some people some trouble.

The timestamp and horology differences were all diffences
of one-hour where I get one hour less than the expected. I'd
guess that your expected assumes running in EST and I'm
in CST.
