FAIL: test-posix_spawn_file_actions_addclose
============================================

test-posix_spawn_file_actions_addclose.c:62: assertion 'posix_spawn_file_actions_addclose (&actions, bad_fd) == EBADF' failed
Aborted
FAIL test-posix_spawn_file_actions_addclose (exit status: 134)

Seems like the test assumes behavior that is not mandatory in POSIX, so technically, the test is wrong.
