Indeed, in the Jenkins job, at least in all cases in the past two
days, 5.1 was installed instead of 5.1-test-1. We're still
investigating why this happens (and why it didn't happen in the past).

We though had a test suite failure at _build_ time (i.e. "make test"
directly after the build) once and only once withing 5 build runs so
far, so it may be a kind of race condition:

Running test: SH_NULLCMD option

Test ../../Test/E01options.ztst failed: error output differs from expected as shown above for:
  print this is bar >bar
  fn() {
    local NULLCMD=cat READNULLCMD=cat
    echo hello | >foo
    cat foo
    <bar
  }
  setopt shnullcmd
  print option set
  fn
  unsetopt shnullcmd
  print option unset
  fn
  rm -f foo bar
Was testing: SH_NULLCMD option
../../Test/E01options.ztst: test failed.
../../Test/E02xtrace.ztst: starting.

I wonder if that's another case of a missing "2>/dev/null" like we
fixed a few before 5.1?

		Kind regards, Axel
