+  o Minor fix:
+    test_util_spawn_background_ok() hardcoded the expected value
+    for ENOENT to 2.  This isn't portable as error numbers are
+    platform specific, and particularly the hurd has ENOENT at
+    0x40000002.  Construct expected string at runtime, using the
+    correct value for ENOENT (closes: #4733).  Bugfix on 0.2.3.1-alpha.
