These tests have been so flaky, sounds better to just disable for now. We can try to implement the fix documented in #7583 and re-enable at some point.


It's not totally clear why they sometimes work, sometimes fail, but it does appear that running stat on /dev/stdin is perhaps not the most reliable approach.

A likely more solid approach is described in #7583.
