Our release-of-the-day distributions are produced by an automated
process, which only puts the binary releases on the FTP site only if
they bootstrap and pass all the tests in our test suite, whereas the
release-of-the-day source distributions are put on the ftp site if they
bootstrap, even though they may have failed on some test cases.

I don't know which test case(s) the rotd-2002-05-02 version failed on
Solaris, because we only preserve the results of the last three test runs.
