It is, in fact, checked in. I just forgot it was there already. :)

Oops, forgot backspace handling.

And actually the test is wrong, as you can see by TEST_HOST=1 also  
failing the same way.

Backspace actually outputs the backspaces. (Otherwise you'd need an  
abritrarily long buffer before you output anything, you could  
theoretically have a megabyte long line then a megabyte of backspaces.)

Sanity checking a test with "TEST_HOST=1 VERBOSE=1 scripts/test.sh  
expand" is useful...
