Gregory P. Smith <greg at krypto.org> added the comment:

Just disabling those two tests is the best thing for the 2.6.5 release if we don't get around to the actual fix:

Since calling setreuid(-1, -1) is apparently not such a no-op on all systems these tests would be better if we ran them in a subprocess so that they don't alter the main test runner process state.
