Note this has been affecting Debian packages for many months now in
normal tarball releases: as far as I know, 1.1, 1.2 and 1.9.91 are
affected, all showing the same error. See my post in
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-mailutils/2008-06/msg00002.html

With Debian lenny approaching release, I ended up disabling the
testsuite temporarily to let 1.2 build successfully, in hope a fix would
be found in time.

I can't tell when this bug started to surface, but where 1.2 or 1.1
built previously, it suddenly started failing with this testsuite error,
so some change to the system seems to be affecting it, be the toolchain,
dejagnu or something else. I haven't had time to find out more.

Thanks,
Jordi
