Oh, huh, so much for the theory that it's --root causing it:

  $ sh ./t0003-attributes.sh -q
  # passed all 8 test(s)
  1..8
  $ dash ./t0003-attributes.sh -q
  # passed all 8 test(s)
  1..8
  $ bash ./t0003-attributes.sh -q
  not ok - 1 setup
[...]
  $ bash --version
  GNU bash, version 4.1.7(1)-release (x86_64-suse-linux-gnu)
[...]

Then again, so much for your theory that it's only OpenBSD... ;-)
