Ah. That's because it has an entier mtn database in it, as part of the
database_dump_load test.

The failure in automate_certs is in the very start of the test;
mtn_setup. That same code is executed in most of the other tests,
successfully.

So this looks like an intermittent error on the host.

You can run just this test by:

cd BASEDIR
./run_func_tests automate_certs

If that fails consistently, but

./run_func_tests automate_cert

passes, there is something very mysterious going on.

For the database_dump_load test, the file compare is failing. We'd have
to run that test by hand, and compare the two files with a hex dump or
something, to see what's wrong.
