It's caused by the last change to runtests.pl:
-# $Id: runtests.pl,v 1.126 2004/05/10 09:01:45 bagder Exp $
+# $Id: runtests.pl,v 1.127 2004/05/11 11:30:24 bagder Exp $

- my @version=`$CURL -V 2>/dev/null`;
+ my @version=`strace $CURL --version 2>fump`;

'strace' exists on AIX, but that's not the strace we love and know!
It's something totally different (and very nasty)..

I guess that change got in by accident? 'strace' is standard only on
Linux (although it exists also for e.g. irix)..

Changing that back will run the tests, but now I get a lot of these:
test 200...
** MEMORY FAILURE
FREE ERROR: No memory allocated: MEM main.c:2083 free(0x20000ba8)
FREE ERROR: No memory allocated: MEM main.c:3499 free(0x2000a3c8)
FREE ERROR: No memory allocated: MEM main.c:3502 free(0x2000a448)

and other stuff. Most everything fails.
