   (However, I would think that a program like RCS would be run
   as root when root privileges are required, such as when being
   used to version files in /etc. So, maybe tests failing as root
   really is an issue.)

Yes, it is.  Thanks for explaining the situation more.  (I am
unfamiliar w/ gentoo.)  RCS does indeed handle things differently
for root, but the tests incorrectly do not take that into
account.  I look forward to hearing how t510 and t511 behave
after applying the patch suggested by Paul Eggert.
