[logon] testing the forthcoming HandOn release

[Berthold Crysmann]

Dear all, 

the following test does not seem to work in the current SVN runtime
(Linux x86_64). Thus loading of ERG fails.

  with arguments `(-L /home/crysmann/logon.svn/dot.clinit.cl -locale
no_NO.UTF-8)'
  in directory `nil'
  on machine `localhost'.
