Cargo cult.  I blindly copied them from one of the other tests in the t/ 
directory.

It wasn't my intention to test TAP::Parser.  Based on the subject line, I 
wanted to test Test::Harness 3.0, which supposedly fixes most of the bugs 
in the Test::Harness RT queue.  I wanted to point out that it doesn't fix 
this bug.

Yes, I understand that, but it's not my point.  I wanted to run the 
standard sequence:

    perl Makefile.PL
    make
    make test

When I do that, I get the double-counting error.
