    Problem Text
    Although the output shown above is the same as expected if the
    test fails, we have done additional research on our implementation
    and determined there is a problem with the tests.

    On our systems a processing error somewhere in termin which causes
    the errors shown. When we run the tests by hand they work as expected.

    For example, the tests contain:

    (sleep $VSC_WINK ; echo "q" ) | termin -s -o more_out_1 --
    more -c -e -i -s -u more_in_1 more_in_2 more_in_3 2> /dev/null
    (sleep $VSC_WINK ; echo "q" ) | termin -s -o more_out_2 --
    more -e -i -s -u -c more_in_1 more_in_2 more_in_3 2> /dev/null

    Followed later by a "cmp -s more_out_1 more_out_2".

    When we run the tests this compare returns 1.

    However, executing these same commands (with the same data files) on
    the command line e.g.:

    more -c -e -i -s -u more_in_1 more_in_2 more_in_3 > outfile1
    more -e -i -s -u -c more_in_1 more_in_2 more_in_3 > outfile2

    results in the two output files "cmp -s"'ing as exactly identical (as
    do all 5 of the option combinations given in the test).
