Interesting. Maybe something differs in the way it passes expectedly
invalid pointers to some syscalls. Keep in mind that it's using your
local kernel also, that could make a difference. I'm not that much keen
on trying to investigate that one to be honest, given that this user
mode is really meant to ease the life of test developers like Ammar
and myself who just want to focus on the correctness of the test they're
adding and not that much on the validity of the test itself in this
context. I suggest we keep this one in mind without putting too much
effort on it for now.

Thanks!
Willy
