Hi Larry, thanks for the report.  And sorry for the late answer,

Consider that 1.11 is already some years old, and, most importantly,
suffers from a know security vulnerability:

  <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.sysutils.autotools.announce/131>

I'd advise you to install the latest version 1.11.3 instead.

Ah-ah, you've hit this known and extremely low-probability bug:

 <http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=8365>

Attached is a testsuite enhancement to avoid similar failures in
the future.

Thanks again,
