I found the trouble.  I edited etc/mts.conf to set "localname: domain.tld".
That caused the two failures below.

PASS: test/format/test-myname
./test/format/test-myhost: local hostname test expected:
    'machinename.domain.tld'
but instead got:
    'domain.tld'
FAIL: test/format/test-myhost
./test/format/test-mymbox: Basic address@hidden test expected:
    '1'
but instead got:
    '0'
FAIL: test/format/test-mymbox
PASS: test/forw/test-forw-digest

Commenting out my localname change allowed all of the above to pass.

I did the localname change with a patch from my RPM spec file so that 
I wouldn't have to edit the mts.conf file by hand after installing it.
If you can think of a better way to do this, I'm open to suggestions.

Thanks....
