OK, the problem does not exhibit itself in quite the way I said;
"--without-libidn" seems not to be involved.  I found out by accident
that the following sequence of commands will cause test 1139 to fail
repeatedly:

(unpack archive into empty directory)
$ ./configure
$ make
$ make test
(all tests run)
$ make clean
$ make
$ make test
(test 1139 fails)

Rerunning "./configure" prior to the second "make; make tests" does not
help.

In my earlier tests, the directory where I ran the "--without-libidn"
build was a Subversion working directory into which I had imported curl
7.61.0.  This is supposed to create a clean directory, but it is
possible that is not quite the case.  I haven't run a full directory
comparison yet.

So it appears that something in the directory runs properly only once.
