That's great, thanks for running these tests.

The test appears to time out after 5 seconds.  If it is a reliable fault
on this system it can probably be fixed but if it is not it may not be
possible to find the reason.  The test system could have frozen up for
some random reason or been under heavy load.

Does the test fail if run a second time on the same system?  (Running
t/search-empty.sh or "make check" in the 'info' subdirectory should
check.)

As you can see from the log from a successful run (on my system), no
bytes were sent from the pseudoterminal on the failing run:
