Yes.  Or that it doesn't even compile.

That is the correct running time, but it relates to the bug report that I sent
them earlier today.  Those programs use OS.FileSys.tmpName -- so, the MLkit
version immediately raises an uncaught exception.  Unfortunately, they return
with exit status zero, so my script figures everything went OK.   For now, I'll
edit out those two by hand.
