Are you running the test as user "root"?
Try running it as some other user, preferably as the "spamd" user
(or what ever user you've set up to run your spamd as).
When you do the 'make test' as root, the test harness tries to start
up the test "spamd" as user "nobody". Depending upon your system this
may cause problems. We use HP-UX and it defines nobody == -2 which
causes those tests to fail.
