Details:
The testsuite has a bug when run as root or other user with extra
privileges:

I got the above failure by running the testsuite under cygwin under an
Administrator account, where access() correctly reports that all files are
readable regardless of the stat mode because of my extra privileges as an
Administrator.
The test should first check whether the user can read and/or write a file
that has been chmod'd to 000, and skip the test, rather than declaring a
failure, since access() is not necessarily based on stat() information.
