Wierd test failure on OS X

[Derek Robert Price]

Has anyone seen anything like this?  This test just started failing on 
OS X during nightly testing on the 13th.  It passes on all other 
platforms.  I'm thinking I might try backing out each individual change 
on the 12th and rerunning the suite until it passes, but the behavior is 
very wierd.  I cannot reproduce the bug unless I run the entire test 
suite.  If I run the entire test suite the following test:

         dotest_fail checkout_repository-1 \
"${testcvs} co -d ${CVSROOT_DIRNAME} CVSROOT" \
"${PROG} \[checkout aborted\]: Cannot check out files into the 
repository itself" \
"${SPROG} \[server aborted\]: absolute pathnames invalid for server 
(specified \`${CVSROOT_DIRNAME}')"

reports:

absolute pathnames invalid for server (specified 
`/private/tmp/cvs-nightly/cvs-sanity/cvsroot')

The relavant part appears to be the missing "cvs [server aborted]: ". 
There actually _is_ a place where the second message could be printed 
but it isn't obvious to me what the cause might be and I haven't been 
able to use the debugger since, like I said, I cannot reproduce the problem.

Just looking for clues.  Thanks.

Derek
