Another FAILure that PASSed.

That's try the same commands as for cond19.test on IRIX:

  env TESTS=cond4.test VERBOSE=x make -e SHELL=/bin/sh check
  make TESTS=cond4.test VERBOSE=x check-TESTS

This looks like a time stamp issue.  I don't understand why
the config.status rule is trigered here.  Anyway, this
causes additional output ...

In your previous report, this failed too.  This test looks much
like cond19.test.  I'm starting to wonder whether this could be
transiant timestamp skews, due to NFS or something similar.  Does
this ring a bell?
