Hi Rich,
Thanks for the report!  That is suspicious, indeed.
In coreutils, I confirm that there are three brand new failures
that were not present in rawhide a day or two ago:

    ../build-aux/test-driver: line 95: 27442 Aborted "$@" > $log_file 2>&1
    FAIL: test-cloexec
    ...
    ../build-aux/test-driver: line 95: 27545 Aborted "$@" > $log_file 2>&1
    FAIL: test-dup2
    ...
    ../build-aux/test-driver: line 95: 27828 Aborted "$@" > $log_file 2>&1
    FAIL: test-fcntl

For the record, this is rawhide:

    $ rpm -q glibc glibc-headers
    glibc-2.16.90-22.fc19.x86_64
    glibc-headers-2.16.90-22.fc19.x86_64

I won't have time to investigate tonight.
