+Subject: [PATCH] iotests/qsd-jobs: Filter events in the first test
+
+The job may or may not be ready before the 'quit' is issued.  Whether it
+is is irrelevant; for the purpose of the test, it only needs to still be
+there.  Filter the job status change and READY events from the output so
+it becomes reliable.
