Just a quick report here that the patch aidan supplied made the 21.5 build pass when run in a debug environment. (a copy of the smoktest setup on the same machine.)

In fact the current machine is a virtual thing with just one CPU assigned. The old server was a multi CPU thing. Maybe there is some limit when run through cron that isn't there when run in a login shell!? Stephen> Eg, are you perhaps running make -j N for N > 1? No. I haven't taken that bold step yet. I have assumed that the makefiles for the smoketest isn't prepared for that. (And on the current machine would do much good either.)
