Save/restore pipefail to not mistakenly trip the if-condition in wait_for_listener().
awk doesn't gracefully handle SIGPIPE with a non-zero exit code, so grep exiting upon finding a match causes false-positives when the pipefail option is used. This will enable pipefail usage, so that we can losing failures when piping test output into log() functions.

Hi Bobby,
I agree this is a problem. But I'm wondering if you considered moving the pattern matching into the awk script. I'm no awk expert. But suspect that would lead to a more elegant solution.
