Failing SUnit tests in 3.4b

One thing that would be nice for any "final" Squeak release, such as 
3.4, is to have the SUnit tests all passing.

There are currently a few tests which are failing.  Oddly enough, they 
are different tests on different platforms, which means they're either 
VM-related or otherwise platform-specific (such as the platform-specific 
stuff in *FileDirectory, etc.)

Here is what I am seeing with the current 3.4beta-5156:

On Mac OS X (Carbon VM 3.2.8Beta9, and CocoaSqueak-3.2.4):
------------
3 failed:
FileDirectoryTests>>testDeleteDirectory
FileDirectoryTests>>testDirectoryExists
FileDirectoryTests>>testExists
1 with errors:
FileList2ModalDialogsTest>>testModalFolderSelector  (these 
failures/errors were not in 3.2)

On Windows 2000 (3.2.3 VM / Tea 1.8 VM):
----------------
1 failed:
TestUUIDPrimitives>>testCreationRandom  (this failure was also in 3.2)


(Are any tests failing under Linux?)

Anyway, I seem to remember something on the list around the time of the 
FileDirectory fixes, about a change still needing to be made in the VM, 
or in the tests, or something. :-)

There are a few other fixes afoot right now for 3.4beta (including one 
related to UUID).  It would also be nice to get these tests cleaned up 
while we're at it.  Any insight on these would be appeciated.
