Uff, this renders very ugly in the documentation. Can we at least drop
the email signatures and rewrite the text a bit?

Huh, why have you dropped the only TPASS/TFAIL in the test?

	This should be just exit(0).

I guess that we can do waitpid() for the process and fail the test if we
get SIGSEGV here as well.
