It means that the test wasn't run...  But that's ok because you 
(probably) ran "make check" instead of "make installcheck".  The first 
one skips tests that actually run probes, therefore you'll get lots of 
"UNTESTED" messages.

In general, any test that is UNTESTED didn't get run because you told it 
not to run ("make check" vs. "make installcheck") or perhaps the test 
checks for a certain system feature you don't have.
