Hi neet,

The test suite log shows things like this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
substitute: unmatched line "<html><head><meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;url=http://searchguide.tds.net/index.php?origURL=http://does-not-exist%2Fnix-cache-info&bc=\"/></head><body><script type=\"text/javascript\">window.location=\"http://searchguide.tds.net/index.php?origURL=\"+escape(window.location)+\"&r=\"+escape(document.referrer)+\"&bc=\";</script></body></html>"
actual-value: #f
actual-error:
+ (srfi-34
+   #<condition &store-protocol-error [message: "substituter `substitute' died unexpectedly" status: 1] 39a9ab0>)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

This shows that your ISP performs “DNS hijacking”: instead of getting an
error when resolving the ‘does-not-exist’ domain used in the test, your
ISP resolves it and serves an HTML page.

This is the same with the 3 test failures you observe, and there’s
nothing we can do about it.

Thanks anyway for the report!

Ludo’.
