GeoDjango Distance Test Failures on Oracle 11g

[jbronn]

Ran the GeoDjango test suite on Oracle 11g and received the following errors:

======================================================================
FAIL: Testing GML output from the database using GeoManager.gml().
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Program Files\GeoDjango\Django-1.0.2-final\django\contrib\gis\tests\geoapp\tests.py", line 155, in test03b_gml
    self.assertEqual(True, bool(gml_regex.match(ptown.gml)))
AssertionError: True != False

======================================================================
FAIL: Testing the `distance` GeoQuerySet method on projected coordinate systems.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Program Files\GeoDjango\Django-1.0.2-final\django\contrib\gis\tests\distapp\tests.py", line 129, in test03a_distance_method
    self.assertAlmostEqual(m_distances[i], c.distance.m, tol)
AssertionError: 147075.06981300001 != 44828.570935898977 within 2 places

======================================================================
FAIL: Testing the `distance_lt`, `distance_gt`, `distance_lte`, and `distance_gte` lookup types.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Program Files\GeoDjango\Django-1.0.2-final\django\contrib\gis\tests\distapp\tests.py", line 200, in test04_distance_lookups
    self.assertEqual(cities, ['Bellaire', 'Pearland', 'West University Place'])
AssertionError: [] != ['Bellaire', 'Pearland', 'West University Place']

The first failure is simply different precision values in the GML output, and is easily solved with a better regex in the test suite. The next two problems from the distance test suite, however, will require more investigative work.
