+ tests: fix false failure in nohup.sh in non tty builds
+
+ * tests/misc/nohup.sh: When running tests without a controlling tty,
+ an exec failure is triggered in a subshell, which causes POSIX
+ shells to immediately exit the subshell. This was brought
+ to notice by the newly conforming bash 4.3.
+ Fixes http:/bugs.gnu.org/16940
