(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately weren't resolved
at the time.)

We apparently forgot to apply Pip's fix because we started talking about
fixing the test harness.  So I've now applied the fix, but not the test,
because we don't really have a good way to test infinite loops in ert.
