Yep.

Yes I do.  There was another patch applied to this test that should fix
the issue.  For reference I paste it below.

Please note there is a new Automake test release, 1.10b, available on
alpha.gnu.org.  It would be very helpful if you could download and try
it, and report failures.

Thanks!

Cheers,
Ralf
