I committed this change to test-driver, so it'll (finally) be in the
next release. (Sorry for the long-delayed response.)

(I was tempted to make the script exit unsuccessfully if either of the
commands failed (e.g., add  || exit 1  or some such), but I was too scared.)

Thanks for the report,
Karl
