Yes, I can confirm that this was the only failing test case in my build.
(It may be of note however that I did not have Xapian enabled.  Trying
to build with that caused a host of other failures that were beyond my
ability to troubleshoot, so I decided to just give up on running the
tests for now, since they seem very dependent on the environment and the
environment inside our build sandboxes is so different from what
public-inbox will have on a running system anyway.)

I can confirm that this patch also solves my problem.  Thank you very
much.
