Well, test_grp test is failing because it assumes that group IDs are unique, which is not guaranteed by getgrent(). And apparently not true at PARC. test_posix fails on some group-related thing, too: the use of initgroups(), which is supposed to fail, succeeds. test_pwd fails because the fake uid chosen for one test is a real UID for a PARC user. So these are really problems with the test being based on an insufficiently general model of the real world.
