} Well, that shuts up the error message, but it also causes the 0.011
} second timeout to be ignored.  The test still succeeds for me, but
} should get a more thorough examination.

If the real point is to sleep for 0.11 seconds, input needs to be
redirected from somewhere that doesn't instantly return EOF.  That
means tty or an open pipe.  Can anyone think of a less silly-looking
way to do that, than the below?

(The -u 0 -k 1 are probably redundant now.)

First hunk is for a thinko in my %prep.
