That test certainly works fin e here.  There are numerous other tests
which fail with 2.6.0-test3 (tst-kill3 for me) or which freeze the
machine (tst-exec3, tst-exec4, ...).  There are multiple known bugs in
the current code.  Patches have been sent to fix at least some of them,
but Linus hasn't integrated them.

So, do not use the -test3 kernel for now, it's pretty much unusable.
