Karel,  I have installed util-linux v2.39 in LFS and have run into a problem with one 
test, test_mkfds.  Actually the test passes, but does not clean up after itself. 
What is left over is:

tester   32245     1  0 15:43 ?        00:00:00 /sources/util-linux-2.39/test_mkfds 
-q udp 3 4 server-port=34567 client-port=23456 server-do-bind=1 client-do-bind=1 
client-do-connect=1
tester   32247     1  0 15:43 ?        00:00:00 /sources/util-linux-2.39/test_mkfds 
-q udp6 3 4 lite=1 server-port=34567 client-port=23456 server-do-bind=1 
client-do-bind=1 client-do-connect=1

It's possible it may be due to something we are doing inside our chroot environment, 
but we've not had this type of problem with earlier versions of util-linux.

In all I do have:

   All 261 tests PASSED

but the left over processes interfere later when we try to remove the non-root user, 
tester, that runs the tests.  I can work around the problem by disabling test_mkfds, 
but thought you would like to know.
