Oh, *that* was the problem.  Thanks for spotting.  Yes, I'm always
building outside the source tree, unless the project's build system
doesn't allow that.

Problem is fixed, all tests pass.

However, I have another tiny testsuite problem.

The sftp.sh test tests with a buffersize of 5.  While this test works
fine, it's an excessive performance hit under Cygwin.  I tested this in
a Windows 8 VM, and the buffersize 5 test alone takes hours.  With all
other buffersizes, it's a case of seconds.

Is there a chance we can disable the buffersize 5 test?


Thanks,
Corinna
