It looks to me that the tests rely on the serialver being consistent
across compilers, as there is sample data checked in.  This is not a
valid thing to do... compilers generate different code and cannot
easily be made serialization-compatible with Sun's compiler.  See the
various discussions of this point on this list in the past for more
details.

Probably the serializable Test$* classes in Mauve need their UID set
explicitly, like we do in the library.
