Yes, with this the 'help-version' test passes.

It's worth noting that my automated tests are run from a daemon
without controlling TTY (which perhaps complicates things?).

When I run the tests manually (i.e. starting an OpenBSD VM
and SSH'ing into it), the test does not fail.

However I could trigger the failure by not creating
a TTY in ssh:

  ssh -T openbsd-vm  "cd gzip-1.8.18-00e6 ; make check"


In any case, with this change the test pass even without TTY.
