In r6799, the names of some tests were changed so there are no longer 
duplicated test function names.  This means tests are now being run that 
had previously been shadowed by the duplicate names.  I also get the 
failure of the test test_pdist_minkowski_3_2_iris_float32().  I created 
a ticket for the problem: http://projects.scipy.org/scipy/ticket/1278
