Ok, I received various answer (#2 solved the problem for me)

1) maybe perl does not flush at the close at line 54.
However, I added
 close O;
        system("echo -e '\n***\n$a\n***' >>$logfile");
        system("head -1 Config.h");      <=========

#define BB_SLEEP
Applet SLEEP               : ok
#define BB_SORT
Applet SORT                : FAILED!!!  (it used sleep.c)
#define BB_STTY
Applet STTY                : ok
#define BB_SWAPONOFF
Applet SWAPONOFF           : ok
#define BB_SYNC
Applet SYNC                : FAILED!!!  (it used swaponoff.c)

2)
problem with stale applet_source_list

This worked for me (I performed 5 complete runs), I did not need to increase the
select sleep. As soon as I reverted the change I got the problem again.

Thanks Matt and Larry.
