    Problem Text
    The test is failing with a sh 127 (command not found) exit code.

    These tests are failing for unknown reasons. They work in the
    VSC4.1.5s1 ("sanity one") suite, even with the same /bin/vi executable,
    but they do not work in the current suite.

    The only indication of failure for these tests is the non-zero exit
    status from a pipeline. Since the termin script is the last stage of
    the pipeline, the exit status of 127 must be coming from the script.
    Other possible indications of failure do not exist: stderr is empty
    and the file that was edited was changed exactly as the test expected.
    If these facts were not true, additional messages would appear in the
    journal output.

    There are insufficient diagnostic messages to debug the problem and we
    have no way of knowing if the exit status is a result of something
    happening in termin, termin.tcl, expect, the shell, /bin/vi, or
    anything else that may be involved when executing a termin command.

    Review Response
    We recommend this request be refused.

    We believe these failures are caused by expect timing problems. To
    remedy this problem we suggest you edit Src/ImplSpec/libexec.exp.
    Find the line that assigns the value of PromptNapTime. Slowly
    increase this value and retry the tests until they pass. In any
    case a value of 5 is undesirable and should be unnecessary.

    If the above remedy does not work, it is suggested that the
    submitter sends in another request and a TSD may be granted.
