It is only the blackhole test that I have not been able to run as is, 
but I have stepped it manually as far as I could.
My environment has changed lately and in that context the building of 
the selftests fails and I don't know why,I just get some error 
messagesabout missing header files, and setting up a whole system like 
f.ex. linuxfromscratch with the necessary libs and tools to run it in a 
VM is too time consuming a task at the moment.

If there is some freely available system for the purpose out there 
besides my own system based on Buildroot that does not work now, please 
let me know...
