+Subject: [PATCH] Work around a race condition in t/read-write.t
+
+If the script exits before IO::Pty::Easy has read its output, the final
+newline gets lost. This seems to mostly happen on single-CPU hosts.
+
+Just sleeping long enough (at least 2.5 or so seconds) would make
+IO::Pty::Easy kill the child when $pty goes out of scope, but waiting
+one second before exiting should be enough.
