Well if all apps fail in the same way, then I would expect that there  
is something wrong with your system ... but you would need to provide  
at least one example bug report.  If some apps fail, and do so in  
different ways, then contact the authors of those apps with specific  
bug reports.

If you want to run tests ... please get hold of the testsuite
