What about tst_res(TFAIL, ""); followed by exit(1). Really this is a
case where the test does fail we and we should report failure properly.
Or even just exit(1) as we do check the exit value after your changes.

Is there a good reason why you are trying to avoid tst_strstatus() that
simplifies the whole inner body of the loop to a single if?
