Description:

The following tests produce unexpected output during "make test".

These definitely appear to indicate bugs:

        run-execscript  (the bashdb directory isn't created during test 
installation, so debugger can't run)
        run-read        (too few characters read)
        run-redir       (reports "bad N")

This is a bug in the test, rather than in bash:

        run-type        (incorrectly assumes "m" does not exist in $PATH)

These are just because I don't have the relevant locales installed:

        run-glob-test 
        run-intl        (and the number of tests differs)

I've edited the output of "make test" to highlight the issues and to redact
personal information.

        $ configure --prefix=$HOME/lib/perl/$( git log -n1 --format=%H )
        … lots of output …

           sed "s#$PWD#\$SRC#g

        … build parameters, bash version, etc, then some tests …

Repeat-By:
        configure --prefix=$HOME/lib/perl/$( git log -n1 --format=%H )
        make test |& sed "s#$PWD#\$SRC#g; s#$HOME#~#g" | grep -v 
"$stuff_that_is_not_interesting"

Fix:
        To fix the trivial errors, I could modify PATH to exclude "m", and
        install the de_DE.UTF-8, fr_FR.ISO8859-1, ja_JP.SJIS, and
        zh_HK.big5hkscs locales.
