When rerunning the testsuite, ... "test 199" has completed.

Checking tests/testsuite.log tells:
199. parallel test execution (autotest.at:1371): ok (0m57.333s 1m3.784s)

Several, but I don't have any real testsuites results, yet, because the 
testsuite still hasn't completed, yet.

Typing the failed ons off from the terminal:

38
40
81
101
147
166
183
195
202

No further results, because the testsuite now hangs in test 203.
