Yes, in v1.9.2 we turned on http tests to run by default, but only if we
could succeed in setting up the http server automatically (and if we
can't, we skip the tests). Unfortunately your case seems to set up the
http server fine, but then it dies. It's odd that it's only on this one
test, though.

You can manually disable them by setting GIT_TEST_HTTPD=false in your
config.mak file. If this sort of spurious failure is common, we may have
to consider switching the default back to "false" from "auto".

It seems that no one is interested to this issue. Probably I misunderstood
the purpose of the list.

This is the right place. But your problem is confusing and hard, so it
may take time for people to look into it and respond. :)
