Well that was interesting. IIRC there were other 'perl -f' failures, 
were those similarly addressed? Anyway, I got a different (but not 
unreasonable) failure:

FAIL: df/total-verify
+ perl check-df space 


5845627536 != 5845627534 at check-df line 14, <> line 19. 


+ fail=1 



...which means the test fails if something else writes to the disk while 
the test is running :-).
