Ouch, that's bad.  This problem is most probably due to...

... this crash, which prevented a complete run of the testsuite
(at least all the `[t-z]*.test' and `*-p.test' tests weren't run,
and the `test-suite.log' report wasn't generated).

Is your /bin/sh a Korn Shell in disguise?  Do you happen to have bash 
installed on your system?  If yes, could you try to run the following 
command in your Automake build directory to see if the run of the 
testuite completes?

  $ (cd tests && make TEST_LOG_COMPILER=/path/to/bash check)

If yes, would you care to send the `test-suite.log' resulting from 
this run?

Yes, this helps.  Thank you.

Hhmmm... all the failures except the last one seem due to strange 
failures of the `cp' utility... is the cp in your PATH GNU cp, or
the system cp?

Thanks,
