Wonderful!

It is curious that there should be so many *new* tests that assume ASCII
given that in 2001 or so all tests passed (either really, or were
appropriately skipped) in z/OS or its moral equivalent. Or maybe my memory
is selective

I would be most interested in some breakdown analysis of these newly
failing tests.
