Yep, that looks like a real problem.

We need more info about what's going on and unfortunately the tests 
don't give much info by default.

Please edit test-exec.sh: put "set -x" at the top of the file, change 
"LogLevel QUIET" to "LogLevel verbose" (at line 165 or so) then run 
"make tests" again.

When it stops, cut-and-paste the failing command, add "-vvv" to the 
command line and run it again.

Between the output from that and sshd logging (/var/log/authlog or 
wherever sshd normally logs to) it should tell you what's failing (and 
hopefully why).

     Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
