That explains what the test fails then. The test expects that you can't chown a file to root as a normal user, and it verifies that an exception is raised in that case. Do you know if this behaviour is standard under HP-UX? If so, what do sys.platform and platform.system() return? (this won't be fixed in 2.5 by the way: 2.5 only receives security fixes. 2.6 is the current stable branch and 2.7 is the in-development version)
