I could have sworn that I got the not remade because of errors message. Maybe I reran make check, glanced at the screen with sleepy eyes, and read the earlier 'not remade' message. Whatever, now that I've woken the box from suspend (don't ask about yesterday :) I _did_ rerun my script and all the tests passed, with a status of 0. Spelled out in detail not because it is interesting, or counts as an adequate excuse, but because I believe that technical / support issues are like an exam - show working.
