testcase fails when run as root in automake-1.10.1

[Leo Davis]

Hello,

I'm getting a failure running the 'instsh2.test' as root.

The relevant part of the testcase is:

+ ./install-sh -C -m 444 file d1
+ test -r d1/file
+ test '!' -w d1/file
FAIL: instsh2.test
=====================================
1 of 1 tests failed
Please report to address@hidden
=====================================

But the file seems OK:

address@hidden tests]# ls -al testSubDir/d1/file
-r--r--r--  1 root root 5 Jun 26 14:26 testSubDir/d1/file

I tried running just this test as a non-root user and it passed.
