[DTrace-devel] [PATCH] test: Skip err.Z_no-w for now

[eugene.loh at oracle.com]

From: Eugene Loh <eugene.loh at oracle.com>

It is unclear what behavior is desired.  For example, consider:

    dtrace -Z -n 'BEGIN { exit(0) } foo:bar:baz:bop { raise(SIGUSR1) }'

The first probe exists.  The second one will be ignored.  Solaris will
reject the script with:

    dtrace: description 'BEGIN ' matched 1 probe
    dtrace: could not enable tracing: Destructive actions not allowed

On Linux, we have:

    dtrace: description 'BEGIN ' matched 1 probe
    CPU     ID                    FUNCTION:NAME
      0      1                           :BEGIN

Perhaps both behaviors have merit.  For now, just skip the test to
avoid test failures we are not ready to arbitrate.
