I don't think it hangs, just fails. But not in the best fashion.
* The test can be skipped if /bin/ed is not present. But that will forgo
  some testing.
* We can write our own ed dummy in C and use it.
* The test doesn't even have WITH-TEST, hence the not-so-helpful
  "unhandled error", that can be easily rectified.
