 I see no problem now either (that is after I fixed my own lunacy).
 
 Perhaps you were attempting to debug changes to t_make.sh and
 were doing so using echo or printf in the code?
 
 ATF test programs (as distinct from the tests that they run)
 cannot use stdout for anything - the ATF system uses a pipe from
 the shell running the test (t_make.sh) back to itself, and expects
 only properly formatted messages (from the internal ATF functions)
 to appear there.
 
 If you need diagnostic output, make sure it all goes to stderr 
 instead of stdout.
 
 I believe that this PR can be closed?
