Hi,

This is probably the problem that the SVN "server" is not set up 
per-testcase, but globally.  (I am speaking from memory here, it might be 
possible that this was fixed already.)

There are left-over trash directories.  (Another indicator are the files 
in t/test-results/.)

My common workflow is to "make -j50 && make -j50 -k test", and if it 
fails, run only those tests that have left-over trash directories.
