I saw this on the buildds, but not when I fired up a Hurd VM locally, so
indeed, it would be good to track down the intermittent failure.

As you have probably figured out yourself, most of the tests happen in
the shell script test/test_main.  You could try modifying the arguments
it passes to burp to generate more verbose output.  Or you could have
the test suite call burp inside gdb.
