Actually, this won't be necessary.  The test suite driver does this for
you (see tests/README.test_maintainers.txt).  You can run just that one
test by doing echo bugs/hidden-conflicts.sh > bugs/tests_to_run and make
bugs.

Sorry, I should have reacted to your last email and saved you the
effort!

I vaguely recall that this is nothing to be alarmed about if you can
still rebuild darcs

By setting record --no-test in the defaults (_darcs/prefs/defaults).
If you have a look at the manual, you will also see some handy things
you can do with default flags.
