Hi Peter, thanks for the report (and the plethora of the following

Ah, this test is always skipped on POSIX systems, so I never got to update
it when the default was switched from serial-tests to parallel-tests.  It
has probably bit-rotten a little.

The same failure should be present also in the 'micro' branch (as I see you
have already confirmed).  And it should be easily fixable by adding the
"--add-missing" option to the Automake invocation.  Can you confirm?  If
yes, feel free to push the obvious patch to fix the issue (a reference to
the bug number in the commit message would be nice, as usual).

Thanks,
