Hello,
I found this very helpful while debugging the template test inside the
low max_cmd_len test. Any reasons against applying it?
Thanks,
Ralf

Document INNER_TESTSUITEFLAGS, drop leading space.
* README: Document INNER_TESTSUITEFLAGS.
* tests/cmdline_wrap.at (Run tests with low max_cmd_len):
When using INNER_TESTSUITEFLAGS on the testsuite invocation,
drop leading space after -k libtool, so that the user may
further limit the set of tests to be run.

+Some tests, like the one exercising max_cmd_len limits, make use of this
+to invoke the testsuite recursively on a subset of tests. For these
+tests, the variable INNER_TESTSUITEFLAGS may be used. It will be
+expanded right after the `-k libtool', without separating whitespace,

send the file `tests/testsuite.log' to the bug report mailing list,
