I even tried that on:

FreeBSD janus.catwhisker.org 9.1-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 9.1-PRERELEASE #343 240004M: Sun Sep  2 05:58:37 PDT 2012     root at freebeast.catwhisker.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/JANUS  i386

with the same failures I reported initially (and subsequently).
(Yes, even after unsetting LANG and LC_ALL,)

So the distinction would appear to be something other than that
between stable/8 & stable/9.

I confess to a degree of puzzlement.

Peace,
david
