Again that stuff.

Well, there are plenty of errors you reported which I'm unable to
decipher :( Sometimes it just doesn't make any sense.  For instance it
seems that the test 33 ``discovered'' the debug-*.sh scripts, and 36
lost them!!!

I don't understand why

167. ./update.at:31     autoupdate requires GNU sed
ignored near `update.at:31'


these messages should be hidden.


I don't understand

Testing suite for autoconf, version 2.49b
=========================================
testing Missing templates
     21. ./torture.at:63...
./torture.at:71: autoconf --autoconf-dir .. -l $at_srcdir
./torture.at:74: ./configure
Exit code was 255, expected 1
config.status: error: cannot find input file: nonexistent.in
     21. ./torture.at:63: FAILED near `torture.at:74'

this is really bizarre.  Could you try this:

        (exit 1); echo $?

on this machine?



I don't understand anything.  It's going to be fun :(
