test-cloexec.c:97: assertion failed

[Richard W.M. Jones]

With Linux 3.7.0 I'm seeing:

make[4]: Entering directory `/home/rjones/d/libguestfs/gnulib/tests'
PASS: test-accept
PASS: test-accept4
PASS: test-alloca-opt

PASS: test-byteswap
PASS: test-c-ctype
PASS: test-c-strcase.sh
PASS: test-chdir
test-cloexec.c:97: assertion failed

and then, strangely, the whole test suite hangs (I think that has
something to do with abrt being broken when the kernel comes to
generate the core dump).

I'm about a month behind upstream gnulib, but test-cloexec.c as a
whole hasn't been touched since Jan 2012.

The line where it fails is:

  /* Normal use of dup_cloexec.  */
  fd2 = dup_cloexec (fd);
  ASSERT (fd < fd2);
  ASSERT (!is_inheritable (fd2));    <--- line 97
  ASSERT (close (fd) == 0);
  ASSERT (dup_cloexec (fd2) == fd);
  ASSERT (!is_inheritable (fd));
  ASSERT (close (fd2) == 0);

Rich.
