[Nmh-workers] Hanging test test/install-mh/test-version-check

Hi,

I noticed that test/install-mh/test-version-check is hanging for me
on MacOS X.  Specifically, the "script" command on MacOS X seems to be
the problem; for reasons I don't understand quite yet when "script" is
run the input is set to /dev/null, and it turns out when THAT happens
there is apparently a bug in that script that results in a tight loop
where it keeps calling read(), getting an EOF, and then writing out
0 bytes to the pseudo-tty.

I'm not sure what the solution is here; any ideas?
