[Bug 449194] [NEW] important fix for "timeout" in Debian

[agriffis]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: tct

Due to an incorrect earlier patch, timeout always waits the full time
when used in a pipeline:

$ time -15 4 true
real    0m0.013s

$ time -15 4 true | cat
real    0m4.012s

This bug was reported and fixed in Debian, see http://bugs.debian.org
