Some test fail when run as root

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. run 'make check' with root user

/mu-maildir/mu-maildir-mkdir-04:                                     **
ERROR:test-mu-maildir.c:167:test_mu_maildir_mkdir_04: assertion failed

I guess this is not too much of a problem, but in Gentoo the package manager 
may run tests as root.
Thanks,
Thomas

Hmmm, whether it's a good idea to run unit tests as root is another matter, but 
at least latest git should fix this. Can you check?

Thanks for the report.

Works. Thanks! (The gentoo package manager runs them as root, but in a sandbox 
that prevents access to the filesystem...).
