Same error -- Test 109 that fails.


This is with the patches for 3.4.  I verified before Sabbath that 3.4
builds and passes the tests.  Tried your test first thing this evening
after git checkout maint and git pull.  I am at 3.4-43-g84d1c3645 which
builds but doesn't pass the tests.  So, I could build turning off the
test step.

However, Friday I was learning more about git bisect to see if I could
figure out which patch caused the tests to start failing.  However, a
couple of items got in the way:  1--time;  2--some commits don't build. 
That messed me up a bit.  So, I may start over again with the bisect
(just for my own edification) and see what happens.  Maybe this time
I'll do a git describe each time and take notes so I'll be a little more
cognizant of what I'm learning.  <<did that make sense>>
