[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Thanks to a private bug report from Nelson Beebe, I learned
that the "colors" test was failing on many different types of hosts.
It was due to a UMR bug. Here is the fix I've just pushed.
Sorry, Nelson, I've just realized that I forgot to attribute you
in the commit log.

I also failed to mention when that was introduced in NEWS, so
here is a fix-up patch to address both issues:
