Re: script(1) bug?

[Greg Troxel <gdt%lexort.com@localhost>]

I think script definitely has bugs that bear on this.  I ran into a
different problem, script hanging, when running tests for some program,
I think bup, and semi-figured it out with help from the list.

I am carrying a local diff (in my netbsd-10 tree), at end.  I am not
really suggesting that this specific patch addresses the issue, but I am
skeptical of script's sequencing/locking in general.
