That file is readable only by root.
So if you're running tests as some other user, that would
explain the failure you saw.
Yes, I am running the tests as root, but apparently the basic-1
test re-runs itself as user nobody (65534), which explains the
failure.
Presently though that doesn't explain, to me at least, why
'require-non-root' is a show-stopper when I'm running the
make check as root initially.
