Fails in a different test in my test environment (oneiric chroot on panda):

Testing conf_source_reload() with job directory
...with new job directory
...with new file in directory (direct write)
...with modified job (direct write)
...with modified job (atomic rename)
...with deleted job
...with modification to running job
...with modification to replacement for running job
...with deletion of replacement for running job
...with deletion of running job
...with error after modification of job
BAD: wrong value for file, expected (nil) got 0x404ccf78
        at tests/test_conf.c:752 (test_source_reload_job_dir).
/bin/bash: line 5: 3855 Aborted ${dir}$tst

Looking at test_conf.c:752 we see:

        nih_io_select_fds (&nfds, &readfds, &writefds, &exceptfds);
        nih_io_handle_fds (&readfds, &writefds, &exceptfds);

        file = (ConfFile *)nih_hash_lookup (source->files, filename);
>>> TEST_EQ_P (file, NULL);

        TEST_FREE (old_job);

The use of nih_ makes me suspicious (without proof) that what we have here is an instance of bug 791315 which is libnih failing it's tests.
