[GNU Autoconf 2.69] testsuite: 503 failed

[Dennis Clarke]

Pretty trivial really.

This chestnut pops up all over the place ever since the wide wonderful
world of perl made the decision that "Unescaped left brace in regex" is
to be deprecated and even throw a permanent error.  Any day, real soon
now.
