First, the REEADME says, "There are pretty many tests," which would fail any
remedial English class. Just remove the "pretty".
tests/touch/not-owner produces a misdirecting error message when touch is
allowed to change "/". Then "out" is a null string which will not match one of
the three "exp" strings. It prints the last of the three error message
strings. Since the error condition, successful completion, was known
specifically even before the error message is checked, there was no reason to
go that far and a more explicit error message could have been given.
(Now, all I have to do is figure why it compiled code that allowed it.)
