Yes, these are NFS-related. E.g., acloca13.test has leftover files .nfs6E44 and .nfs7E44 in tests/acloca13.dir/acloca13-1.0 which correspond to install-sh and configure (or configure.lineno). This test fails reproducibly. I cannot remove the files after the tests have ended. So I suspect that these are file system issues that I don't have under control. Hmm. This host has 2 failures on 2009-04-19, 36 on 2009-12-06, and 43 now. That's not a good sign, whether it is a system issue or Automake one. Cheers, Ralf
