Subject: test-pread.sh: avoid diagnostics for those who ignore SIGPIPE
X-Git-Url: https://pintos-os.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2fbe772172eb8f078031d68030e3b85c5bd8d57b;p=pspp

test-pread.sh: avoid diagnostics for those who ignore SIGPIPE

* tests/test-pread.sh: Write no data into the pipe, because
test-pread actually reads none.  This avoids a diagnostic,
"bash: echo: write error: Broken pipe", that arises in the unusual
event something is ignoring SIGPIPE, and might be interpreted
as some sort of failure.  Reported by Bruno Haible.
