Description

          GNU testsuite comparison:
Congrats! The gnu test misc/stdbuf.log is no longer failing!
Congrats! The gnu test timeout/timeout.log is no longer failing!

Example: https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/issues/7495#issuecomment-2738497130

It is clearly my fault with recent changes
