Did you by chance run many tests in parallel?  If yes, you might have hit
a known issue:
 "The test cond5.test can fail spuriously due to timeouts when it's run 
 in low priority (e.g. with `nice -n19'), especially on loaded systems, 
 or when many tests are run in parallel (I myself routinely run up to
 50 tests in parallel with low priority)."

This problem should have been solved by this patch:

Is you automake repository up-to-date? Do you have this commit installed?

If yes, then my patch didn't fix the problem after all...

Thanks,
