Re: rcs-5.9.4: make check: tests 510 511 603 604 605 900 999 failed on AIX

I have always 'remembered' RCS as a directory where the comma-v files were
stored, so I was not surprised to see RCS as a directory.

What puzzles me though is that the same errors are reported - but/and there
are err files in test-dirs that passed.
