Um, I meant "blow up".  I meant that the package works after you
install it and start up the database.

We didn't make the tests pass with the 5.0.x.  We don't know if the
5.0.51,REV=2008.01.20 was passing the tests.  If it wasn't, releasing
my 5.0.84 would not mean any degradation in the QA of the package.  If
it was, it would be nice to know what was done to make the tests pass.
 I don't know if it makes sense to invest time in 5.0.x. tests if
we're going to move on to 5.1 soon.
