bug#16532: Test Fail: "tests/chown/separator"

[Assaf Gordon]

Hello,

Testing the latest coreutils (v8.22.16-be97f) on an old Ubuntu server, 
results in a test failure "tests/chown/separator" (log + strace below).

System is:

Linux club 2.6.32-24-server #43-Ubuntu SMP Thu Sep 16 16:05:42 UTC 2010 
x86_64 GNU/Linux

$ cat /etc/issue
Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS \n \l
