Yes, being root would break some of the tests, e.g. those that rely on
removing permissions to generate an error. Probably we should just
document that running the test suite as root is not supported? If
someone can explain a good reason to run as root (maybe some odd
auto-builder, the tests in question could probably be modified to do
something more extreme (e.g. delete a file) rather than chmod.
