First of all, thanks for all this testing Bruno!

sort-discrim should hopefully be fixed with:
http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=coreutils.git;a=commitdiff;h=eb7ef014

dd/sparse is a new test, which was recently
adjusted to add some margin to the comparisons.
http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=coreutils.git;a=commitdiff;h=81951658
Perhaps that's not valid/enough on BSD file systems?

Unfortunately I've not got access to a freeBSD system at
present so can't quickly check.

Also I'm going to be away from a computer for 2.5 days,
as we're going on a family break.

cheers,
Pádraig.
