Description
Environment:
Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS running in WSL2
uutils main rev. 571e13999
When executing
cargo test -j1 test_tail
the execution of the test interrupts and I am dropped back to my shell. Test execution can be continued with fg:
running 157 tests
......
test test_tail::test_follow_when_files_are_pointing_to_same_relative_file_and_file_is_truncated ... ignored, disabled until fixed
test test_tail::test_follow_name_retry_headers ... ok

Research direction
Start by reproducing cargo test -j1 test_tail in the stated Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS WSL2 environment and inspect the linked full log, especially test_tail::test_follow_with_pid. Review the test_tail tests and their process behavior; done means the targeted test run no longer stops or interrupts execution and completes with the expected test results.
