Subject: Use seq, not `yes' to generate 4KB of data.
X-Git-Tag: v4.5.12~8
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5165cd0f65bab88220072b89540cbca69b0f1f50;p=thirdparty%2Fcoreutils.git

Use seq, not `yes' to generate 4KB of data.
Otherwise, on systems (DJGPP) that emulate pipes using files,
this test would never complete, waiting for `yes' to terminate.
