A failing test would not alone stop the build but prevent the subsystem
from getting installed. This was the sb-bsd-socket problem: there was no
/dev/log on the amd64 buildd, so the test failed, so the subsystem did not
get installed.

At least this is my understanding.

You mean 6.7.6? I will implement it asap.

Thanks for finding and correcting all my numerous mistakes :-)
