Thanks.  I did not know it was already there, i had a private
conversation with the Slackware maintainer who reported test
errors; it seems readonly files can be written to on Slackware. :)

The "real" slackware-current Maintainer did a package with the test commented out. My user-repository(SBo) package for the stable slackware(14.2) isn't updated, because
i wanted to check for the failed tests.

It seems the cause is, that on slackware the packages are typically build as root user.
When i build as unpriviledged "make test" returns:
600 tests: 600 ok, 0 failure(s).  3 test(s) skipped

Readonly files can be overwritten by the root user, not only on slackware.

Johannes
