I did some more checking and I think the issue is that the test suite
doesn't handle spaces in the path.
If I run `make test` in a path with spaces, it fails regardless of
whether `DARCS` is set. If I run `make test` in a path without spaces,
it succeeds regardless of whether `DARCS` is set.
This issue occurs with both 1.0.9 and unstable. I'll send a report to

We'd welcome help. Try running darcs check instead of `make test'. It
darcs check (with test) works, then Eric's suspicicions are probably on
track, and it's something in your environment. If it's the DARCS
environment variable, then it's a feature (allowing you to run the test
suite with a different darcs, which can be useful), and you just need to
fix that before running. If it's something else, perhaps we need to
cleanse the environment a bit before running.
