The test case is protected by a TTY prerequisite; that is not satisfied on Windows, and the test is skipped. No harm done so far.

But when I run `test-tool pager` manually and quit out of the pager, the tool does spin in the endless loop. The following fixup helps.

diff --git a/t/helper/test-pager.c b/t/helper/test-pager.c
