Just for the records: Looking a bit closer I saw that the failing tests in 
S03-operators/arith.t and S32-num/power.t (reported on 2013-06-03) where 
identical. Both test whether "1**Inf" equals 1.

Interestingly I got exactly those test failures on a current version of NetBSD 
(6.1.4):

netbsd-6.1.4$ ./perl6-m -e "(1**Inf).say"
NaN

Last years OpenBSD also answered "NaN" (see above). A current version of 
OpenBSD (5.5) gives 1:

openbsd-5.5$ ./perl6-m -e "(1**Inf).say"
1

I'm not sure how to interpret this difference. Maybe it's related to 
(differing/changing) functionalities of the operating system?
