I've spent the morning trying to reproduce this, without success. After
a "make maintainer-clean", cvs update, full rebuild cycle, I cannot get
anything funny to happen in "make check" under HPUX, RH Linux 8.0, or
OS X.

I'm a bit hesitant to write it off as a build problem, because
(a) I can't see anything in the recent CVS logs that might cause such,
and (b) it's surprising that it'd bite both you and me. But at this
point I don't see what else to say.

Can you still reproduce the problem after a clean rebuild?
