Thanks!

I have some guesses about "ipcs" and "fallocate" but some more 
questions:

1. Which kernel version?
2. Which file system? (findmnt -n -o FSTYPE -T tests/output)
3. Is /proc mounted?
4  grep "FALL" config.h

"swaplabel" test fails because it's using again fallocate. Maybe we 
should use dd/truncate instead to not test fallocate again.

The misc/ul failure is something about different ncurses (or 
terminals?). I know it from BSD. Don't know how this should be fixed in 
our test suite because I don't know much about ncurses stuff.

This is the plain diff:

--- tests/expected/misc/ul
+++ tests/output/misc/ul
@@ -1,3 +1,3 @@
-^[[1ma^[(B^[[mb^[[4mc^[[24m
+^[[1ma^[[m^[(Bb^[[4mc^[[24m


Interpreted by terminal both looks ok: "abc" with bold "a" and 
underlined "c". I sombody confirmes that both strings in the diff are 
totally ok on any system, then I would fix the test by using sed.
