John, Thanks for including the output log extract.  The test numbers do not
always refer to the same tests, so in general, it is necessary to have the
log output for any failed test in order to know which test failed and why.

There are certain tests that can only be run if you have certain servers
setup.  Those tests should not be enabled by default.   I think, but am
not certain, that the test you cited above is one of those.  The person
who knows for certain is on vacation.  I think he should be back next week.

You can turn off that useless output by removing the -v from the command
line of the command that produces it.   That was added as a debugging aid
and should have been removed before the tarfile was published, but wasn't. :(

Please give us the log extracts for those tests.  Otherwise those are just
numbers.
