The problem is this, in libraries/random/tests/all.T:
# This lets me run tests from the test directory during development:
opts = '-i.. -XCPP '
This is causing all the tests to compile the source, rather than using
the package. If two of the tests get run in parallel then there is a
race condition.
Ryan, could you handle this differently, so those flags don't get passed
by default, please? Perhaps have them conditionally set, based on
whether a file has been 'touch'ed or whether a make variable has been
set, or maybe make a testsuite wrapper for yourself which builds the
package so that they aren't necessary?
Thanks
Ian
