    Problem Text
    This test may fail on implementations because there is a missing exit
    command in the script.

    The files "DATA/*" contain the commands, which have to be processed
    by termin emulating an interactive mailx session.
    In some of them (DATA/176.1, DATA/194.1, DATA/195.1, DATA/196.1)
    there is no final "exit" (or "x") command to terminate
    the mailx session.

    When we use our debug-mailx, we find out, that mailx gets a terminating
    exit-command from line 271 of termin.tcl:
    send "\rexit\r"
    So mailx terminates correctly.

    BUT: - as far as we understand the termin utility - the exit-command
    in line 271 is NOT supposed to terminate the mailx session,
    but it is supposed to terminate the spawned shell.

    Thus the shell does not terminate correctly, and we get error messages
    from the following lines of termin.tcl.
    Therefore the tests finally fail with "Standard error isn't empty", though
    everything was done by mailx as expected.

    Note: This bugreport applies not only to the four above mentioned
    DATA-files. The "exit" is missing in some more DATA-files,
    (e.g. DATA/174.1), but we do not get FAILS, because in those
    assertions there is no check whether stderr is empty.
