Well, Analysis_soap.t ran immediately after, so Amap.t tests shouldn't be
the problem.  The only issue I can think of is that Test::More TODO blocks
require a newer version of Test::Harness (which most users have anyway).
Are you using a TODO block?

You can send me Amap.t and I'll give it a try, but I can't promise I'll get
to it immediately (busy day).
