OK, I think this is because privsep doesn't work (without SUDO, anyway),
so when it tests with the malloc options it'll fail rather than just
warn like the original sandbox test.

The trivial workaround is to replace the last "fail" in
connect-privsep.sh with "warn".  I'm not sure what the proper thing to
do is (at some point we're really going to care about sandbox failures).

Thanks.

    Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
