Comment (by bdubbs):

 I think adding 'yes "" |' to the line is a good idea.  We may want to add
 this to the book too.

 This issue seems to be highly specific to vim in LFS. The reason we
 redirect is because the vim output during tests can corrupt the user's
 terminal.  That's not good in the chroot environment. I like the idea of
 jhalfs not modifying the line in the book but adding an instruction to
 copy vim-test.log to $TEST_LOG.

 I don't recall why we don't do the test redirection when building vim in
 BLFS.  I think it may be because the user has more options if the virtual
 terminal gets corrupted.

 In a related matter, we have the test line in LFS split into two physical
 lines.  Looking at the rendered book, that does not seem to be needed.
 Would it help to reformat that command to be on one physical line?
