Comment:

 So it does.  That's odd, after the previous posting.  Hey, whatever.  ;-)

 Looking at one of the
 
[http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/hotplug/udev.git;a=blobdiff;f=udevtest.c;h=9868c9bcd3b4bb571023fda27a4f8b562c183d2d;hp=9d73996bcf19c95fa946caddf9de4eaaed73a43c;hb=68d4af11cae0af3a8e06770228b16613700b363e;hpb=81313e1b48866efb9e40eb88420643de05275b56
 commits] that got added to udev-109, I see that they added code to read a
 bunch of environment variables out of the sysfs uevent file.  On 2.6.20.3,
 the uevent files aren't readable, but I assume that on newer kernels they
 are (however, I can't find anything in the lkml archives that says this
 got committed to anyone's tree; hmm).

 Anyway, so maybe the kernel will provide all the required environment
 variables (when userspace reads the uevent attribute) -- if that set of
 variables is accurate, then starting with v109, udevtest should start
 being much closer to what will really happen again.

 So yes, I'd say wontfix.
