The tests stop in

	PASS: tests/cp/dir-vs-file.sh
	PASS: tests/cp/existing-perm-dir.sh

at

	+ mkfifo_or_skip_ fifo
	+ test 1 = 1
	+ mkfifo fifo
	+ touch fifo-copy
	+ chgrp 502 fifo
	+ chgrp 262 fifo-copy
	+ chmod g+r fifo-copy
	+ cp -p --copy-contents fifo fifo-copy
	+ pid=10841
	cp: cannot stat 'fifo-copy/fifo': Not a directory

After waiting 40 min I had, at around 19:00 h:

  -rw-r--r--   1 macports admin  6677 21. Mai 18:25 existing-perm-race.log
  -rw-r--r--   1 macports admin  6194 21. Mai 18:25 existing-perm-dir.log
  -rw-r--r--   1 macports admin    82 21. Mai 18:25 existing-perm-dir.trs

Then, two hours ago, I killed 'make check'…
