I'm happy to modify the test (it is in one spot), to make a decision based on:
a) whether /dev/zero exists
b) whether the system is a NonStop
c) something else

What would you all prefer? It doesn't matter to me one way or another, as long as I can get the dependency to /dev/zero removed so tests will run here.

Thanks,
Randall
