When I build the package by hand (without sbuild) it also fails.

The result of "make test" is like this:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I don't know much about this, but it seems as if it was reaching some
of the limits in /etc/security/limits.conf.

By trial and error, I found that the attached patch fixes the issue in
my system, but I don't even know if the patch makes any sense.

Now the question: How could I know beforehand that the tests will work
on a given system?

Is my system really "defective" because it does not pass the tests,
or maybe the tests are asking too much?

Cc:ing Matthias, who reported this in Ubuntu in the first place.

Thanks.
