Hello Ralf,

Yeah, it's the test that is broken, not Autotest.  The bug is known.
Sorry, I didn't manage to get it fixed in time for 2.68.

FWIW, the test wrongly assumes that the output crosses a pipe buffer
boundary and thus elicits a SIGPIPE, which is simply not true on some
systems.

Cheers,
Ralf
