Three problems with C<make test>​:

The test F<lib/bigfloatpm.t> fails at 347.
The following script reproduce the cause​:

  use Math​::BigFloat;

  $x=new Math​::BigFloat "-1";

  $y=$x->fsqrt;

  print $y,"\n";
  print $y + 0,"\n";

outputs​:

  NaN
  -n.an

C<Math​::BigFloat​::fadd> seems not called and
I really don't know where this value is coming from.
Any ideas ?

The test F<pragma/warning.t> fails at 190
because like in the following example,
C<read(FOO,$x,1)> doesn't produce a warning
the test assumes it should. I don't know if
it is harmful.

use warning 'io' ;

open(FOO, ">&STDOUT") and print <FOO>;

read(FOO,$x,1);

Lastly, F<op/filetest.t> fails at 7 when
perl is built as root. I suggest the following
patch, as C<suid 1> make F<op> always unreadable.

I'll have a look on sco3 tomorrow.
