A preliminary patch has been pushed on the PR58065 branch at Savannah.
Please confirm that it resolves this issue.
It does.
Thank you. The PR58065 branch has been merged to master and will be
included in the future 1.6.4 release.

The descriptions given were sufficient that I was able avoid examining
the offered test case and thus avoid needing associated copyright
paperwork.
Huh, would have looking at the provided test even require such papers?
That seems a bit excess..
There is a possibility of trouble if code subsequently added to DejaGnu,
such as a regression test, were to be "significant" and sufficiently
resemble the offered case, and papers were not in order. Not looking at
it short-circuits the whole problem.
In general, the GNU project seems to take a "better safe than sorry"
angle on the issue, and the prospect of being "low-hanging fruit" for
some future SCO-alike does not appeal to me.
