Details:
The technique of using "kill $$" is unreliable. For example,
on MacOS X, the child just exits with a nonzero status.
This works better but is harder to use in a DejaGnu test:
yes | xargs -I{} echo | true
Part of the problem here of course is that the exit status of the
pipeline is the exit status of its last compinent.
The existing test is essentially
echo 'kill $$' | xargs -n1 -IARG sh -c ARG
... but this causes xargs to return status 123 on some systems, including:
OpenBSD 3.9
Solaris 10 SPARC
Solaris 10 IA-32
