I _am_ going to run CTS 1.3.1 sometime soon.  Just wanted to make sure
I understood what the story was with 1.2.1.  When I first posted my
results in
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-jdbc/2004-10/msg00279.php, no one
seemed to know whether or not 510 failures out of 1778 tests was the
correct number and why the failure rate was so high.  I now have a
satisfactory answer to that question.  In case anyone cares, my
scripts for running CTS 1.2.1 and generating an error report can be
found here:

Dave suggested repeatedly that energy would be better spent on
expanding existing test coverage.  I agree that this is a worthwhile
goal and will be happy to help when and where I can.

Here's what the current coverage looks like:
