Yes, but the reason is this:

obj/lib/bitmap_test: t_hmap_set_clear_fill: Timeout expired
obj/lib/bitmap_test: t_hmap_set_clear_fill 5.023173111s 
  [FAIL]
obj/lib/bitmap_test 6.241085926s 
  [FAIL]

I have failed to reproduce this, yet I'd suppose this is just a build 
test timeout due to a too short timeout setting. We should probably 
raise this value to a minute or so for autobuilds. It finishes well on 
local development machines, yet most probably build virtuals aren't so 
powerful.

This is just a harmless random error in progdoc generator which is 
generally forgotten to be maintained at all. (We should check and fix it 
some day.)

Anyway, thank you for your report.
