There's still a little bit of a gap in the explanation between what's
explained on the FAW page, and three of the six error lines reported on
the Wiki (http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GFortranResults), namely:
> csep.out: CST drivers: 1 out of 11664 tests failed to pass the threshold
> ssep.out: SST: 1 out of 4662 tests failed to pass the threshold
> ssep.out: SST drivers: 1 out of 14256 tests failed to pass the threshold
Are these what the FAQ answer refers to as "minor testing failures"?
...Though I just realized that the "very near the acceptance critera
threshold" phrase in the Wiki description is probably referring to that,
rather than to the "1 failure is almost 0 failures" that I thought it
meant on first reading, in which case the information is there, I just
didn't see it.
