The infifo fifo that is used to send characters to QEMU console is only able to receive one character before the cat process exits. Supporting interactions between test and harness involving multiple characters requires the fifo to remain open. This also allows us to let the cat out of the bag, simplifying the input pipeline.
LOL, we rather let the cat out of the subshell now, but I like the play on words :-)
