3.3.23 compiles and runs fine on Mac OS X 10.1, 10.2, and 10.3 (Panther 
prerelease). make regression did not find any problems.

On my Mac, "time make regression" gives the following results:

3.3.23  1050.970u 5.850s 23:24.91 75.2% 0+0k 1+23io 0pf+0w
3.2     1249.210u 6.040s 24:16.30 86.1% 0+0k 0+23io 0pf+0w

All this using the defaults compile and run options. However, I'm not 
sure it proves anything since the regression tests themselves have 
changed. Is there a constant benchmarking test?
