Sigh. Have we considered disabling the part of the test that doesn't
seem to work reliable, pending that someone take a look at it?
I sympathise with the preference to have the test fail in order to not
forget about the problem, but I think this may have passed the point
where it is counter productive since it causes confusion among users
(this was not the first time I've seen this reported). I wouldn't be
surprised if someone just disables running 'make check' when something
like this happens.
Alternatively, print "BUG: Please debug this" and exit(77) to have the
test be SKIP'ed?
