Thank you very much for testing it. The failures on the Mac OS X systems are for the "info" program. These tests have produced failures before and it's hard to know why: my guess is that either something is going wrong with control characters being sent from a pseudoterminal (e.g. C-s for stop transmission), or that the tests are timing out.
