Hi,

Running "make check" as root produces 1 test failure:

FAIL: testsuite/panic-tests.sh

This is annoying, because
  - in many CI situations (for example, when using Docker images), the uid is 0,
  - in Haiku as well, the uid is 0.

The attached patch fixes it.

The same problem exists also on Cygwin. Here's a patch that fixes it for
both cases (and obsoletes the previous patch).
