CVS was passing nightly regression tests on HP-UX 10.20 for the 1.11 release and still
is.
I'm thinking maybe the standard test comes close to the argument length limit and
something about your system pushes it over
the edge. Glancing through the offending test, a longer than normal user name seems
the most likely culprit. Other
possibilities include a longer than normal $TESTDIR. If you suspect the user name
then setting $TESTDIR to something shorter
and rerunning the tests might fix the problem easier than changing your username. e.g.
TESTDIR=/tmp/1 make check && TESTDIR=/tmp/1 make remotecheck

Take my advice, I don't use it anyway.
