    Problem Text
    This test may fail on implementations because there may be insufficient
    time delay between the escape character and next character.

    The tests in question all verify assertions related to vi insert
    mode, all use the expect interactive tool, and all use the escape
    character (encoded by $VSC_ESC in the test suite) as part of the
    script fed to expect. So do other tests in the same source
    file. The tests cited, however, share the feature that after
    the transmission of the escape character there is no sleep (unlike,
    say, the test for assertion 94). This causes sporadic failures.

    We modified these assertion tests to put an

    exec sleep 1

    in the expect script immediately after each escape character is sent,
    before the rest of the input is sent. The tests then worked reliably.

    We believe that this amply demonstrates that (a) these tests are deficient
    and need the delays to be reliable, and (b) our system conforms to the
    requirements of the assertions cited above.
