If you always remember to run "make" (or the equivalent "make all") before
"make test" then you have worked around the dependency issue I found, and
indeed you seem to have found an additional bug (a discrepancy between
running make test and ctest). which is not relevant to that dependency
issue.

However, CMake/CTest users should not have to always remember to do the
workaround so that is why I reported the dependency issue as bug 4615.
