Test for shell's successful exit is implicit and confusing (was: Weird issue with tests?)

stage_1: 01-fork-exec.t

↵ sbb one

---------------------------
You still need to do stage_1
Keep working!

Unsure where I am actually going wrong here, I think I poorly understand your "validate".

I've attached my C source code if you'd like to look through any of it to detect where I've gone wrong.

(Caveat: I'm travelling presently so I may not be able to respond quickly or make a change here)

The problem is what your shell does on EOF: try running it interactively and hitting ^D. Let's leave this issue open though, because the test suite could be a lot clearer here: it should be explicit that we failed while trying to terminate the shell. (It isn't right now since the timeout is implemented separately from the harness).

Thanks for giving the workshop a try!
