Attempt to run tests in individual directories also fails, as does an
attempt to run individual tests:

  $ ./run_parser_all.sh -dir contents

There are two problems here:

  . input_file_names_recoded_stamp.txt doesn't exist, because it is
    generated by a Makefile rule (which fails due to non-ASCII
    characters);
  . the 'locale' command (where is that called?) is not available on
    MS-Windows.
