ok?


What happens when you run this test natively?  I believe it will fail
since it uses your host's system () directly.  This test doesn't test
just fileio.

ah, yes you're right. The current behaviour passes natively because of that.

It's not obvious to me how the testsuite could distinguish between these two cases. remote-fileio.c doesn't have any verbose logging we could turn on (and have the testsuite watch for it). I suppose we could add it. Or we could turn on remote-protocol logging and watch for that (which seems less desirable).

Thoughts?
