Subject: tests: avoid false failure on AIX 7.2
X-Git-Tag: v8.29~1
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=8992dfa54c1c5b6cde032be36c7626b301346226;p=thirdparty%2Fcoreutils.git

tests: avoid false failure on AIX 7.2

* tests/tail-2/pipe-f.sh: Close stdout in a subshell
to ensure the current shell isn't impacted.  Subsequent
piped commands like `echo foo | blah` were seen to fail
due to the previous closing of stdout.
Reported by Assaf Gordon.
