make check had one failure as follows :

test-buffer-istream.c:54: Assert failed: buffer_append_full_file(result,
TEST_FILENAME, SIZE_MAX, &error) == BUFFER_APPEND_READ_ERROR
test-buffer-istream.c:56: Assert failed: error != NULL && *error != '\0'
buffer_append_full_file .............................................. :
FAILED


And (I assume) it is best to run the make check under same userid,  i.e.
root, otherwise it is not testing what will actually be running.

But anyway I tried running make check under non-root and the result was
much worse -   some indeterminate FAIL much earlier :

Making check in lib-ssl-iostream
make[2]: Entering directory
'/mnt/julywext/wextmisc/fed30GBroot/ahcombld/dovecot-2.3.13/src/lib-ssl-iostream'
make  check-local
make[3]: Entering directory
'/mnt/julywext/wextmisc/fed30GBroot/ahcombld/dovecot-2.3.13/src/lib-ssl-iostream'
for bin in test-iostream-ssl; do \
    if ! /bin/sh ../../run-test.sh ../.. ./$bin; then exit 1; fi; \
done
collect2: error: ld returned 213 exit status
Failed to run: ./test-iostream-ssl

This is because you have also compiled the source as root and fails to write to 
those directories. You need to build as non-root, too.
No,  for this attempt I ran all steps as non-root including make.



May we re-visit the FAIL I reported originally ?      Why does it FAIL
when run under userid root?

Because it's testing that it cannot read a file it has no permissions to read. 
root can read all files. You can see it does a chmod few lines before.

You are in the wrong place -in the file  -  you are looking at line 61,my error occurred at line 54 -  see error message earlier.

It is make some kind of test for size of record being read.


And,    what code could I add to test-buffer-istream.c to make it print
out the offending errno?

Or,  perhaps easier -  is it safe to ignore this one FAIL?
Hoping you will answer these ...
