These fail because lib/Math/BigInt/t/bigintpm.inc (which gets
included by each of the above tests) uses a value of 1e129 in one of
its tests, which obviously exceeds the range of D_FLOAT.  It's a bit
of a tangle trying to figure out how to skip it since the script reads the
tests in from a DATA section.

Hugo's patch takes care of this one.

>lib/Net/hostent......................FAILED at test 5

The Multinet ECO that should take care of this problem is now
available from <http://www.multinet.process.com/eco.html>.

Thanks for the report.
