Testsuite produces false failures?

Today I verified my patch and I got seven failures of the test suite, six of which were caused by changes in the fundeps (according to Simon's mail it should be fixed by now). So one was obviously caused by my patch. After validation has completed I run this one test again using "make TEST=name_of_test" and it passed without problems. After submiting my patch I rebased my branch with changes onto latest HEAD (which has changed while I was running previous validation) and I got 207 test failures. For example one of them is "2566" from driver directory. So I run "make TEST=2566" and get this: cd ./driver && $MAKE -s --no-print-directory 2566 2566.run.stdout 2>2566.run.stderr OVERALL SUMMARY for test run started at śro, 16 sty 2013, 19:11:02 CET 3576 total tests, which gave rise to 14254 test cases, of which 0 caused framework failures 14253 were skipped 1 expected passes 0 had missing libraries 0 expected failures 0 unexpected passes 0 unexpected failures Also, running the command being tested manually on the stage 2 binary gives correct result: [killy@xerxes : /dane/uczelnia/projekty/ghc-validate/inplace/bin] ./ghc-stage2 -c foo2566.bar Warning: the following files would be used as linker inputs, but linking is not being done: foo2566.bar ghc-stage2: no input files Usage: For basic information, try the `--help' option. Can someone give me a hint what is going on? Janek
