I was about to report the same problem (after suffering from it for a
few months -- I never got around to reporting it but somehow it bugged
me this morning, what a coincidence!).  It appears that your fix of
removing *-tests from CVS has not been pushed out to me, but I just
wanted to mention (in case you didn't notice already) a couple of
things:

1.  The file src/du-tests looks out of place.

2.  The files tests/ls/ls-tests and tests/tr/range-tests are not
removed by "make maintainer-clean"; is this intentional?  I didn't
remove them in my copy, as it wasn't necessary to remove them to fix
the "make check" problem.
