Bonjour Thomas,

The last time I've used jhalfs was on september 28, and my log does not
show that, although there is a warning:
userdel: tester mail spool (/var/mail/tester) not found

But I have not run the tests for that build, so maybe what you see is
an indication that some test tun as user "tester" has left a zombie
process that was not terminated properly. In that case, it is rather a
problem with lfs.

I'll try a test build with all the tests and let you.

Regards
Pierre
