Comment:

 Not sure how much this issue has bitrotted in the meantime, but:

 * `user001` and `processGroup` seem to be a legitimate issues. Something
 went wrong in each of them.

 * The `posix005` failure appears to just be that the `setEnv` call puts
 the new environment variable at the other end of the environment on
 `SmartOS`.  This test in particular could be made more stable by sorting
 the results, because it is currently testing unspecified details of the
 system call.

 * The `getPermissions001` failure appears to be that the
 `getPermissions001.hs` source file was checked out with execute
 permissions?

 * `hClose002` looks to be a minor wording difference?
