I'm not Andre, but running Cat0-tests gave me errors where there seems
to be no error for Hamburg.
What I usually do when I find errors is:
- run the test again with the Testtool
- do it manually
--> if I find an issue fill it, or ask for checking on #qa.openoffice.org
--> sometimes I don't understand what is expected by the test for
example: .res says that it is unable to find a Tabpage where I find the
Tabpage by manual testing. So what should I do in such cases ? Consider
that the script failed?

Kind regards
