Are unittests expected to fail?

Hi folks,

I was going to submit a patch for something, but I thought I'd
give the unittests a blast and they failed. Or more likely I failed
to configure them correctly. I have never tried using them before.

I then re-tried with a completely clean unmodified checkout
from CVS. Same result:
- 2 failures out of 13 for TDS tests
- 6 failures out of 20 for ODBC tests using UnixODBC.
- 14 failures out of 20 for ODBC tests using iODBC.

So before I resort to debugging to find out if I've done anything wrong,
I'd like to know if this is known "normal" behaviour:
- i.e. are the tests buggy/out-of-date/misleading and should I just
ignore these failures? 

Otherwise, are there detailed instructions for how to run the unit tests
anywhere?
     - so far I've configured PWD.in
     - granted suitable database rights to the user given in PWD.in
     - run "make check" from the top level and also from
        src/odbc.

In case this is abnormal behaviour, I have attached 2 files. One is the 
output from running the TDS tests. The other is the output from the ODBC
tests (when using unixODBC).

Anyone care to shed any light or got any ideas to help me
fix my setup? Are there known gotchas?

Thanks a lot,

David
