Some tests are related to the version 2 API; other tests are related to
the version 3 API, which is used by the version 2 API.  The failure you
encountered deals with testing the version 2 API.

I'd like to know the results of the more complete test of the version 3
API.  Would you please do the following:

    1.  Go into the "nc_test/" subdirectory.

    2.  Execute the command "make test".  Redirect both standard
        output and standard error the file "test.log" and send me the
        file.
