This looks fine with a couple of small adjustments, inline below...

There's something funny with the indentation in this line.  Could you
just double check before committing.

I prefer tests to be up to date C, so 'int k;' here, _unless_ it turns
out that being old style C is critical for the test, in which case,
ideally we'd have a comment explaining that.

In general, if it's possible (without breaking the test) it would be
nice if we followed the GCC coding standard for test source, it just
makes things easier to read.

Otherwise, this all looks fine.
