I noticed that test/install-mh/test-version-check is hanging for me

the problem; for reasons I don't understand quite yet when "script" is
run the input is set to /dev/null, and it turns out when THAT happens
there is apparently a bug in that script that results in a tight loop
where it keeps calling read(), getting an EOF, and then writing out
0 bytes to the pseudo-tty.
I'm not sure what the solution is here; any ideas?
This sounds suspiciously like it's sandbox(7) related. MacOS does some really
stupid things in the name of 'security'. E.g., push a command into the
background, and MacOS revokes all network access to/from the process. I wasted
a week at Flock, trying to figure out why our Mac buildbot slaves were
breaking, because of this stupidity.
