Subject: tests/id/gnu-zero-uids: skipping with "not running on GNU/Hurd" on Linux

Hi,

this new tests is skipped on my OpenSuSE-11.4 system:

...
+ require_gnu_
++ uname
+ test Linux = GNU
+ skip_ 'not running on GNU/Hurd'
+ warn_ 'gnu-zero-uids: skipped test: not running on GNU/Hurd'
+ case $IFS in
+ printf '%s\n' 'gnu-zero-uids: skipped test: not running on GNU/Hurd'
gnu-zero-uids: skipped test: not running on GNU/Hurd
+ test 9 = 2
+ printf '%s\n' 'gnu-zero-uids: skipped test: not running on GNU/Hurd'
+ sed 1q
+ Exit 77

I'm confused by this message:
I do not have a GNU/Hurd system, but the test is skipped.

Shouldn't it be "skipping test: only running on GNU/Hurd"?
Or should the test run on Linux and require_gnu_ is buggy?

Have a nice day,
Berny
