Jarkko - I can't be sure from the line you posted. Does t/uni/overload.t
segfault (and therefore `make test` fails), or does the child process
created by that test segfault (it's supposed to, that's the bug).
If it's the former, we can skip that test on everything but linux, where it
works as intended, or if necessary, we can skit it entirely.
