Thanks, and sorry for being slow in merging.
No probs! FWIW the one test I haven't fixed yet is the one that (I think) is causing the issues on the Debian auto builders, but it's quite cwd-sensitive so need more careful adjustment.
Most of the tests use predicable paths for intermediate files in /tmp. This is a problem on multi-user systems, as it makes the test suite vulnerable to symlink attacks. It may also cause problems with things like buildds.
All tests except 'test-extract' are fixed in this patch (that's a bigger piece of work).
