Sorry (again). English is not my mother tongue, so I was asking myself *what* is "not running on GNU/Hurd"? Now it's clear: my system (and not the test).
Actually neither of them was.
According to the English grammar, this message refers to the current process. A general statement referring to the test itself would be 'does not run on GNU/Hurd'- || skip_ 'not running on GNU/Hurd'
While the original message feels all right, if you insist, "applies to" would sound better. Otherwise, you create an impression that the operator is missing something because she does not have GNU/Hurd, which is not true because GNU/Hurd is not RTM.+ || skip_ 'This test requires a GNU/Hurd system'
IMHO, Chris
