There was a test added to the sqlite suite between 3.1 and the current 3.x trunk, TestInTransaction. It's failing pretty consistently on the PPC Leopard buildbot (2.7 and 3.1 are testing OK). Calling sqlite3.sqliteversion returns 3.4.0.

A couple of things come to mind: * Does this require a different flavor of the sqlite libraries? I looked through the 3.x docs and couldn't find any mention of a specific sqlite version.

That's what I was wondering (I see you found the relevant issue...), but it doesn't seem to be a version issue, but it would be cool if you could check it against 3.7 just for confirmation.

* Is this a big-endian bug? Might fail on SPARC, too, then.

It might be, except for two things: it passes on the Sparc Solaris 10 buildbot, and the io module also makes use of a T_BOOL field and its tests pass on all buildbots. On the flip side, the only other failure I've see was on the Debian Sparc buildbot. Which claims it is running sqlite 3.7.2-1. It works for me using 3.7.2 on Gentoo i86.

What should I look at?

Good question :)

When I added this it seemed like such a simple thing. Maybe the endianness issue is the one to look at, despite the pass on Solaris.
