It is somewhat expected. Even on the best machines, a few tests fail. You've got more failures than is typical, but Valgrind's probably working ok. If you look at the *.diff files, you'll probably see with a lot of them that there are only trivial differences between the expected and actual output. This is something that needs improving.
