And to save the reader time wondering: yes, the following examples suffer from the same race, but if they are used then we _want_ the test to fail. It might make sense to squash them in anyway to make the patch more self-explanatory.

There is also an instance of PAGER='cat > paginated.out'; since the pager string only starts with but does not equal "cat", this works fine. It needed for test ‘12: color when writing to a pager’ to be able to read the paginated output.
