Since c49a177bec (test-lib.sh: set COLUMNS=80 for --verbose repeatability, 2021-06-29) multiple tests have been failing when using bash 5 because checkwinsize is enabled by default, therefore COLUMNS is reset using TIOCGWINSZ even for non-interactive shells. It's debatable whether or not bash should even be doing that, but for now we can avoid this undesirable behavior by disabling this option.
