[GoogleCodeExporter]

To fix lib/versions, could you provide me with the following?
$ uname -s
$ uname -r

I don't have access to an AIX machine, so I'll need some help fixing the broken 
tests. Could you run the test manually like this and paste the full output?
$ ksh -x src/shunit2_test_misc.sh

• Changed state: Accepted

As I still have no access to an AIX machine, I'm closing this issue.
