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.
