Re: secure getenv testcase...

Can we get the test to fail gracefully when the user running the test

This is always the case for me, and it's therefore a very annoying and
completely unnecessary testcase failure that's been plagueing the tree
for more than a month.

It seems as if there was an intention to fix this, but the discussion
trailed off at the end of July.

Sorry, 2bc1387273d2123398fc12133643ea2bc02a2cd1 was supposed to address this. I recall testing it locally without supplementary groups.

Can you provide more details about the failure? I'm not sure where to start looking.
