[2.59 on powerpc-apple-darwin6.8] testsuite: 30 48 52 57 61 65 86 90 94 97 109 110 111 126 140 143 152 156 172 175 177 179 181 failed

[Alexandre Duret-Lutz]

I'm not sure I understand these failures correctly.  They are
intermittent; running the testsuite twice will lead to different
numbers.  Apparently, running `nice make check' will result in
more errors than `make check' (the attached log was obtained
with `nice make check').

My hunch is that there is a race condition between the `ls -1'
command run by AC_STATE_SAVE in test case, and the `eval
$at_tee_pipe' into which the test case output is piped.  If eval
is run sufficiently late, testsuite.log will not yet exist when
`ls -1' runs.  I guess that would be a sensible explanation if
testsuite.log did not appear; however the logs show that file
appears twice!

This is a local filesystem (whatever is used by default on
Darwin, ufs I think -- I haven't managed to find a command or a
config file prints the fs type).

In addition to the attached testsuite.log, here is the
./testuite -x -v output of two tests for which I managed to
repeat a failure.
