Fascinating!  Since these tests were turned on recently, it probably
always failed.  It's worth tracking down.

It should be printing out file and line number of the failure to stderr,
then the condition which failed. I just tested it here, by inserting a
failure, and it works:

...tdb1-run-3G-file
...tdb1-run-bad-tdb-header
...tdb1-run
...tdb1-run-check
...tdb1-run-corrupt
...tdb1-run-die-during-transaction
...tdb1-run-endian
...tdb1-run-incompatible
...tdb1-run-nested-transactions
...tdb1-run-nested-traverse
...tdb1-run-no-lock-during-traverse
...tdb1-run-oldhash
...tdb1-run-open-during-transaction
...tdb1-run-readonly-check
...tdb1-run-rwlock-check
...tdb1-run-summary
...tdb1-run-transaction-expand
tdb1-run-transaction-expand failed:
tdb1-run-transaction-expand: ../test/run-transaction-expand.c:66:!tdb

There's no explicit exit(1) in that test that I can find...

Confused,
Rusty.
