+1000 on this one.  Just downloaded and used a library that came with =
unit tests, which all passed.  When I started using it, I kept getting =
odd errors.  Digging into it, I discovered they had commented out the =
bodies of some of the unit tests... glad it was open source, at least I =
*could* dig into the code and figure out what was going on :/
