when trying to run successful short tests from the Makefile timeout would no
terminate. Rather it would wait until the time runs out. Excerpt from the
manpage:
--foreground
when not running timeout directly from a shell prompt,
allow COMMAND to read from the TTY and get TTY signals; in this mode, chil‐
dren of COMMAND will not be timed out
