get/setpriority test failures for BSD-Resource-1.23

Hi Jarkko,
I was compiling BSD::Resource on Solaris 2.6 (SunOS
5.6) and got these failures. 

% make test
..
Failed 2/6 test scripts, 66.67% okay. 5/31 subtests
failed, 83.87% okay.

t/getpriority.t                3    3 100.00%  1-3
t/setpriority.t                3    2  66.67%  1-2

I did some debugging & found following is the reason:
$ cat tst.c
#include <sys/resource.h>
#include <errno.h>
main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  int prio;
  id_t process = (id_t) 0;
  errno = 0;
  prio = getpriority(PRIO_PROCESS, process);
  printf("prio = %d, errno = %d\n", prio, errno);
  if (errno)
    perror("error: getpriority() ");
  else
    printf("getpriority() returned %d\n", prio);
}

$ make tst && ./tst
/opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc  -L/usr/lib -L/usr/ccs/lib
-L/opt/SUNWspro/SC4.2/lib -L/usr/local/lib -o tst
tst.c
prio = -1, errno = 3
error: getpriority() : No such process

I compiled the same program on SunOS 5.9 (Solaris 9)
and it worked well there (got prio = 0).

I just wanted to inform you this & also wanted to
know if you or anyone else has seen this problem.
I googled & did not get any information. Before I ask
the admin to check for any patches, I wanted to know
if 
I'm doing something wrong.

thx
Sreeji
(I'm not sure if it's right to post to perl5-porters.
But this is a perl-module related failure & I'm
hoping many ppl. would have seen this).
