+You will see regression failures for the float4 and float8 regression
+tests on the NaN and inf I/O functions.  This is due to a bug in SCO's strtod
+library function on BOTH UnixWare and OpenServer.  It's slated to be fixed
+in the first maintenance / update for UnixWare 7.1.4, and probably the
+next MP/UP for OpenServer 5.0.7 (I'm not sure on the OSR side as of the time
+I'm writing this (2004-05-14).

+You might also see Join test failures due to ordering differences, and these
+are ok.
