How did you have cached schema under /var/run? This directory is owned by
root.
Are you running the tests as root?

This sounds like a bug in the code using the pickled schema. The pickled
should not
be used if the timestamp of the pickle do not match the timestamp of the
source.

Also in make check, we should not use host schema cache, but local schema
cache
generated by running "make".
