Hi Randall,

We are running the regression suite (as we always have) in Jenkins and are
finding that t0500 is basically a complete failure. I cannot recreate it
using bash where we have a real terminal, but without one, the t0500
consistently fails. I wonder whether any other platform is experiencing the
same situation.

This says that a test failed, but it lacks the verbose log, so there is
little else left to the willing reader than wild guesses that are almost
certainly completely missing the culprit.

In other words: verbose log, please. That is, the output of the test
script when run with `-i -v -x` (or `-i -V -x` in which case you will
want to analyze the contents of
`t/test-results/t0500-progress-display.out` and if that does not help,
paste it into a reply).

Ciao,

We also find that we cannot run the main test suite as a background job - we
get segmentation faults that I have yet to isolate, but when run in the
foreground, no problem.

I wanted to get this out there because 2.24.0 goes too far as this did not
happen in 2.23.0 or any release prior.

Sincerely,
Randall
