OK, will do so next time.

FWIW:

1. These breakdowns seem to be non-deterministic. Each time I rerun 
"make check" different testsuite errors occur.

2.
199 seems to hang non-deterministically (ca. 3 out of 4 times)
205 seems to hang deterministically (has never completed for me).

3. "make check" is dog-slow on my Cygwin/WinXP system (Each iteration 
takes many hours). Part of this slowness certainly originates from the 
HW (An N270 Atom netbook), but certainly not all of it (Linux is 
reasonably fast on the same machine).
