Well, the LD_LIBRARY_PATH gets set during the bash startup (.bashrc) so
if the test does > su - nobody    - then the variable should be set.

But these scripts aren't run during the test sequence. The tests that
are failing are coming out of t/response/TestApache/subprocess.pm (as
per t/logs/error_log) unless I'm missing something?

I use >t/TEST -verbose t/apache/subprocess.t     - as per
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/help/help.html#_C_make_test___Failures
'make test' Failures  - to run the tests that are failing.

Is there another way to perform the tests so that the scripts in 
t/htdocs/util  are run instead?

Thanks,

Tom
