Re: bug in zsh wait builtin - rhbz#1150541

[Peter Stephenson <p.w.stephenson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here's a test.  The tortuous explanation points out that we don't
absolutely guarantee on every run of the test that it's testing the
feature in question, but statistically it will be tested more often than
not.  So Axel will spot failures even if no one else does :-).

The changes in quotes earlier are just to deconfuse Emacs shell mode.

So what is the opposite of confuse?
