Thanks for checking. I installed the attached patch to try to fix the 
test script so that it doesn't hang forever in this situation. The old 
test had a race condition anyway.

I don't know if the failure reflects a bug in coreutils, or in bash, or 
in GNU/Hurd elsewhere. If the revised test passes I guess we don't need 
to worry about it.
