This says that a test failed, but it lacks the verbose log, so there is
little else left to the willing reader than wild guesses that are almost
certainly completely missing the culprit.

In other words: verbose log, please. That is, the output of the test
script when run with `-i -v -x` (or `-i -V -x` in which case you will
want to analyze the contents of
`t/test-results/t0500-progress-display.out` and if that does not help,
paste it into a reply).

Ciao,
Johannes
