It is true that the test assumes ( printf "%d\n" {2..20000} ) will take
less than 5 seconds, but that should cause the test to report failure
rather than to hang.

( coproc { read -Et 5 || kill -INT $$ } ) ought to send the signal in
5 seconds regardless of what else is happening, so the question is
why is that signal either not being sent or being ignored?

I guess my first inclination would be to change the final "read -Ep" to
"read -Et 6 -p" just in case it's that step that's hanging.
