"make check" runs sanity.sh twice: once in local mode, and once in
client/server mode.  If rsh doesn't work, then essentially all of the
tests fail (in client/server mode), and sanity.sh indicates that with
its exit status.  If you don't want to run the tests in client/server
mode, use "make localcheck" instead (likewise, you can run just the
client/server mode tests by using "make remotecheck").
