That would indeed be the right thing to do. However, I am not quite sure how
atf(7) actually works. It seems to create some temporary files such that
simply changing the real and effective UID in the middle of a test gives

   tc-se:FATAL ERROR: Cannot create results file '/tmp/atf-run.21878a/tcr':
   Permission denied

I am not sure whether this particular test deserves a more complex solution.
