FYI, only a subset of the iotests are run during "make check" since some of 
them do not work reliable in all environments (e.g. non-Linux systems). To 
be more precise, only the ones marked with the "auto" group are run during 
"make check", and test 307 does not have the "auto" label, thus it is not 
run in the CI.
