I assume that causes trouble for you as well? If yes, please show its log as well. You can run it alone, and including verbose and trace output already on stdout/stderr with something like make check TESTSUITEFLAGS='-v -d -x 199' > 193. autotest.at:1250: testing parallel test execution ...

Do you have SIGPIPE ignored in your calling process (the one calling make check)? Thanks, Ralf
