On Mandriva 2007.0 I gett these errors from 'make check'.

So, looking at those errors ...

FAIL: test/bad-input/test-header

That _MIGHT_ be because you have a terminal wider than 80 characters; is
that true?  Obviously we should fix that.  Actually, if you want to try
fixing that yourself ... in test/bad-input/test-header, change:

scan $msgnum > $actual 2>&1

to

scan -width 80 $msgnum > $actual 2>&1


I made sure that my window is 78 characters and reran the test.  Now 
I get:

FAIL: test/bad-input/test-header
FAIL: test/format/test-myhost
FAIL: test/format/test-mymbox
FAIL: test/inc/test-deb359167
4 of 46 tests failed

I used to only fail two test.  The new failures are test-my*
Of course, I changed a lot of stuff in ~/Mail/.components and a bit 
of stuff in ~/.mh_profile in order to try to make other things work.
I did make nmh work from command-line and from within exmh (with 
Ken's help) but I must've done something with a 'make check' side 
effect.

I backed out the one change in ~/.mh_profile
There are a number of one line changes in ~/Mail/.components/* all of 
them being the addition of "From: %(localmbox)".

Oh, the other change is that nmh older than 1.5 was installed during 
the first 'make check'.  Then I installed nmh 1.5 RC2, after which I 
came back to do the 80 character test.  Is it possible for 'make 
check' to use things outside the build tree?  If so, that has changed.

Looking at this ...

It looks like valgrind is complaining about something deep within the C
library, specifically getpwuid().  I don't think this is our fault.

No problem.  Thanks for looking!
