I have installed pcb-20110918 (having enjoyed using earlier releases for 
many years) - the install went well (my platform is Mageia-1): pcb 
builds and runs nicely (after having sorted out some issues of missing 
required packages). But I dont dare to use this new version:

"make test" (or running tests/run_tests.sh) reveals that 4 tests fail: 
hid_gerber1, hid_gerber2, hid_gerber3 and hid_png3. For instance, the 
.gbr files produced by hid_gerber1 are thin horizontal lines, rather 
than the thick lines with a filled circle at at their end (looking at 
the gerber files with gerbv).

  - What can I do to clarify this problem?

  - Is my assumption right that I could probably edit layouts, but 
should not use the new version of pcb for generating gerber files until 
I have sorted out this problem?
