expect or tcl is misbehaving on aix and truncating the input buffer before it
gets to the testing framework.
As a result you get unreliable "excess failure" messages and similar stuff.
But it is worth looking through g++.sum for the failures and verifying their
cause so that we do not overlook some real problem.
Hopefully we'll have a chance to look at expect/tcl and see why they're
truncating the input buffers in the near future.
