[Bug 1079889] Re: coreutils timeout does nothing

[Andrew Chi]

Unfortunately, after a reboot, I can no longer reproduce this either.  I
was running Ubuntu 12.10 i386 as the guest OS in VirtualBox 4.2.4, with a
32-bit Windows 7 host (Intel Core i7 Q 720).

$ uname -a
Linux ubuntu 3.5.0-18-generic #29-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 19 10:27:31 UTC 2012
i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux

You can close the bug unless there's some reason to believe we can
reproduce the error.
