It was a joke, but, yeah ... don't run "make check" in a directory
containing a comma.  Or, I guess you shouldn't have slocal deliver to
a path containing a comma.  I am guessing this bug has been around
approximately forever; the slocal test is relatively recent and was only
in 1.6.  Looking at slocal.c, it sure seems like it was around in stock
MH.  So, yeah ... it's a valid bug.  But no one has noticed it in
30 years is my point, so we can wait until the next major release to
fix it :-)
