I just had a thought: maybe you need OmniBrowser to view them? I think the Traits people at SCG were probably using it. I could swear I've browsed traits before, but I may have had OmniBrowser or maybe I'm remember an early Pharo experience.

Wrong. Despite the fairly amazing amount of heat that the discussion released back in 2003 (ten years ago! eeek!) it appears nothing was done at the time beyond a proposed fix that only got into Mantis-land two years late through Ken Causey's good offices.

Now I'm no compiler guru and don't claim to have any special opinion on this except that it looked pretty serious back then and probably ought to be fixed if at all possible. Unless someone has good reasons for those two 'failing' tests to be considered unimportant, of course.
