This was on HP-UX 11.00. I rebuilt the kernel with an increased data
size limit (it was 64M 'out of the box') and those tests now pass.

I sent in the report because I thought it would be useful for your
test scripts to check (with 'ulimit') whether the data size limit
was set too low, and skip some of the tests if this is the case.

We have an automated build system here, and if the test phase fails
then the module is discarded. So ignoring the failed tests isn't an
option for us.
