Thanks for the reports.

Oh. I see from your config.log (55k lines!) that you were using
this sort of system:
hostname = w408lynx
uname -m = 9000/778
uname -r = B.10.20
uname -s = HP-UX
uname -v = A
If you send a big attachment like that again, please compress it first.
Hello, again --
Once I commented out csplit from the list of TESTS in
tests/misc/Makefile, the make check progressed further, only to
encounter another error, this time in tests/rm/:
out exp differ: char 26, line 1
1c1
rm: cannot remove `a/b': Permission denied
Continuing from that point, I only ran into one more failure,
this time in /tail-2/, where the 'dd' command -- neither the
default HP-UX /usr/bin/dd nor /opt/gnu/bin/dd, version 3.16
from GNU fileutils -- couldn't handle the large 4gb
parameter.
I also ran make check once more, this time
