after this broad hint, I ran the full testsuite, getting this result on
Debian:

OVERALL SUMMARY for test run started at Fr 5. Aug 11:02:03 CEST 2011
    2894 total tests, which gave rise to
   12535 test cases, of which
       0 caused framework failures
    2327 were skipped

   plugins                plugins05 [exit code non-0] (profasm,dyn,profthreaded)

Without looking into details yet, or comparing it with the test suite in
7.0.4.
