Ah. You ran the testsuite as root, and the daemon tests are not set up
to cope with that. The testsuite should pass if you run it as an
unprivileged user.
The breakage was introduced in commit
7f367bb1b4348ba1edb863ee13f8281471785e09 , which added support for
supplementary groups. It also made the daemon attempt to honor uid
and gid parameters even if not root and abort the run upon failure.
I'm guessing the uid = 0 and gid = 0 in the test daemon
configuration were disabled so that the daemon tests could run for
unprivileged users. But that breaks running as root, because the daemon
drops privileges to nobody. The proper fix is to emit the uid and
gid parameters only when running as root.
