Ralf's comment about the banner being literal text holds true. But do you really need the banner to be a dynamic string? It seems like in general, the output doesn't need to say what $run expands to unless you are doing a verbose testsuite run (with -v). But $run is indeed expanded by AT_CHECK. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
