Comment (by Pierre Labastie):

 Normally, an ending backslash is tested and then nothing is added to the
 line, but because of an error in logic, the test was not done for lines
 containing "make".

 Also if a line already contains '>>', nothing is added either. I've added
 the case of '&>'. Problem is that in those cases the logs are not
 conserved... I suppose we should do something like "tail -n x <logfile>"
 so that at least the lines containing test summary are conserved.

 Of course another possibility is to replace the log file with $TEST_LOG in
 the scriptlet... But this would be specific to vim.

 Now for the problem of input needed during test, I think we should use
 ''yes "" |'' if the test output is redirected, because there is no way to
 know why the test stops in this case.
