Thanks again!

I'd like to debug this one (the problem may be in fts.c, which I've
changed very recently), but I don't have access to a single HP-UX system.
fts.c seems to be getting into the mode whereby it uses full-relative
names rather than safe-cwd functions.
I'm guessing that this is happening because HPUX is relatively unusual
not to have *at function support (neither direct nor emulatable).

  FAIL: misc/printf-surprise (exit: 1)
  ====================================
  ...
  + err_msg='printf: write error: Not enough space:'
  + case $err_msg in
  + diagnostic=unexpected
  ++ wc -c
  + n_out=0
  + case $n_out:$diagnostic:$exit in
  + fail=1

At least the above appears easy to work around.
The test expected precisely "printf: write error:",
yet got 'printf: write error: Not enough space:'.

Subject: [PATCH] tests: printf-surprise: avoid false-positive failure

* tests/misc/printf-surprise: Also accept a strerror-style string
after the usual 'printf: write error:' diagnostic prefix.
Otherwise, this test would fail on HP-UX 11.
