Comment(by coke):

 'make fulltest' is supposed to fail if any of the subtests fail, so we
 actually '''know''' that they are failing.

 If one fulltest runs 7 different invocations of t/harness, and the first
 one fails, the failure is now lost in the output, and only the last
 invocation is visible to the user; and that one may have passed 100%,
 giving the person running the tests the wrong impression.

 There are two ways to resolve this issue: get 'make fulltest' passing all
 tests, or combine all the various sub-targets into a single harness (This
 was hard at one point. not sure if it still is.)

 I would revert this change, unless there was some discussion that occurred
 outside of this ticket.
