Result: FAIL

I've been getting these test failures for a few days. I normally ignore them because I can't seem to do anything about them on my machine (at least, last I checked I wasn't able to update the packfile examples used).

So three possible solutions:

• If it's possible for me to update the packfiles used in the tests on my machine, (amd64+linux) I would love to learn how
• Otherwise, if somebody else could update the packfiles in the tests, that would be much appreciated
• If this isn't the issue and the packfiles in the tests are up to date, then I have some other weird bug.

I went out to the store, and when I came back these tests were passing. Great. Closing this.
