With the patch P01 (with sudo) succeeds on Fedora.

Personally I feel it's simpler to use relative path, but have no objection
to using UID of ZTST_tesdir.

# If you don't like hard-coding the directory name we can pass it from
# Test/Makefile.in, via a variable like ZTST_moddir, to ztst.zsh (line 38)
# and use it in P01privileged.ztst.
