Hi All,
Please review the simple fix towards
test/java/nio/file/Files/Misc.java. It only fails when it is run by
root. As Alan commented in the bug, the root has all permissions, so
the test assumptions are wrong. Thanks!

This looks okay although it's possible for users other than root to be a
superuser. I think we have at least one other test that checks if
/etc/passwd is writable as a crude indication as to whether the test is
being run by root or not.
