patch 8.0.1389: getqflist() items are missing if not set commit https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/a6d4849c711379b773529afaed640455287ac934 Author: Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> Date: Tue Dec 12 22:45:31 2017 +0100 patch 8.0.1389: getqflist() items are missing if not set Problem: getqflist() items are missing if not set, that makes it more difficult to handle the values. Solution: When a value is not available return zero or another invalid value. (Yegappan Lakshmanan, closes #2430)

" This test is in a separate file, because it usually causes reports for memory
" leaks under valgrind.  That is because when fork/exec fails memory is not
" freed.  Since the process exists right away it's not a real leak.
