Hi, 

i tried the debian package (based on 0.8.3) on sid with pbuilder and all tests 
pass, except test number 1039 (pspp.t). 
Within that test the „Basic reader test“ fails. The test fails because there is 
a mismatch between the output file „out.txt“ and 
the expected file contents. I think there is a difference in the value labels 
output.  See the differences below. 
The difference is the order of the output. Maybe somebody could say if this is 
a real difference or just a test problem.

The relevant code snippet is:
======== from Pspp.t ===============
    print MYFILE "Variable $v is \"$name\", label is \"$label\"\n";
    
    my $vl = $var->get_value_labels ();

    print MYFILE "Value Labels:\n";
    print MYFILE "$_ => $vl->{$_}\n" for keys %$vl;

======== Expected Result from pspp.t ============
ok (compare ("$tempdir/out.txt", <<EOF), "Basic reader operation");
Variable 0 is "string", label is "A Short String Variable"
Value Labels:
3333     => threes
1111     => ones
2222     => twos
Variable 1 is "longstring", label is "A Long String Variable"
Value Labels:
Variable 2 is "numeric", label is "A Numeric Variable"
Value Labels:

3 => Thripality
2 => Duality
Variable 3 is "date", label is "A Date Variable"
Value Labels:
Variable 4 is "dollar", label is "A Dollar Variable"
