No -- but please think of reports just as data.  It's not Kwalitee or
anything like that.  I had failing reports on CPAN::Reporter for ages
from one particular tester -- we finally figured out their
Module::Build install was missing a file for some reason.  It's just
data from people testing in the wild -- perfection is not a realistic
goal.

In this case -- I realize it's worse because the testing tool itself
caused problems and I apologize for that.  It's why I rushed out a fix
at 6:50 in the morning, mere hours after you sent your email about the
fail reports you got.

If you're particularly concerned about bogus fail reports, just bump
your version number and re-release and the smokers should crank out a
fresh bunch of pass reports in short order.

Regards,
David
