I'm having trouble repeating this at will. I saw it happen once yesterday, but
then I think it was some kind of Makefile screw-up, as when I first did:

 ./configure
 make
 make test

It failed to start the HTTP server immediately on test 1. But when I then did:

 cd tests
 make
 ./runtests.pl

It did build a lot of stuff again and then the tests ran fine. All of them.

Today, I wanted to repeat the problem again to see what I can do to fix it, so
I removed all traces of the build from yesterday, unpacked a fresh tarball,
ran configure and make, but to my surprise 'make test' worked fine this time!

Can you repeat this problem on demand?
