Yeah, that would be nice and completes the test cycle pretty robustly if 
the value written isn't "trivial" - and 'flipping' is fine:

Yeah, flipping the bits is even better, as it excercises all the bits.

OK - I missed the 'PKRU == exit code' trick in the child, although 
*technically* the range of exit codes is restricted, with silent clipping 
of bits, so it's not a full 32-bit return code. I'd suggest exiting with a 
known exit code instead if the PKRU value departs from expectations. A 
debug session in that case will tell all the details - in the general case 
we don't really expect these tests to fail.
