Sorry, I can't reproduce here (I tried v1.6.3 and the current
'next'). The tests pass just fine with --debug (which, IIRC, doesn't
actually do much). What is the exact commit you're seeing it fail on?

Can you try running it under gdb to get a stack trace? If you have
valgrind installed, can you run the test script with --valgrind?
