Bug #75726 for URI: test failing on AIX 5.3 that passes on AIX 6.1

I am trying to setup a testbed to test apache on AIX 5.3, but am having problems with URI (and others I expect).

It does not feel like it is somenthing that should break because of different verisons. Or - how can I get an older version of URI that will succeed? Many thanks for your assistence. Michael Felt
