I have actually been fixing tests, so this surprised me.  I checked with
Stas on irc and it turned out to be a case of user error on his part :)
We don't have 420 failed string tests in HEAD.  We still have 22 though,
plus a number of borked tests due to charset issues, so please pitch in
and work on these.
