That would make sense, as the test in question was added on March 26.

} Was testing: `select' loop

It looks like the test is working correctly (in the sense that it reads
the input and chooses the right item from the list) except that the list
of choices is not being printed to stderr where the test code expects to
see it.

This may be happening because loop.c:selectlist() is still using the global
variable `columns' (usually initialized from the terminal size) to decide
how wide a list to print, even when the input to the select loop is not
coming from a terminal and the output is not to a terminal.

That's only a guess, though, because this test passes on machines to which
I have access.
