There are some cases of OutOfMemory? On my machine the float->string conversion is all ok. Also 'make test' is all ok. I assume you're talking about issue 5775. I think it's all explained in the bug report. Basically, the float->string conversion can now return an out of memory error, which it could not before. marshal.c's wobject doesn't check for those error conditions. I doubt they'll ever occur in any test, but they need to be handled none the less. It's on my list of things to do in the next week. But if there's anyone who understands the code and would like to take a look, feel free.

I just fixed it in r71783, so it should be off the list of release blockers.
