Hallo Tom!

Sorry for being late on this...

Short version: Problem solved, reason remains a mystery.

Long version:

Before I wrote the first mail, I checked two times whether I could reproduce
this behaviour.  First, I made a "make distclean" before compiling and
checking again.  Then, I even removed the whole thing and started from zero.
Both times I got this error message.
In an effort to answer your question above, I started again from scratch on
the same machine...  And you guess it - the checks went through.
I don't know what happend that day.

I'm sorry if I raised some dust!

Best regards,
    Wolfgang
