Inspec hangs when executing some windows profiles against linux machine

[jcreedcmu]

I'm not sure if this is representative of a deeper problem. In any case, if I put

control 'foo' do
  impact 1.0
  title 'abc'
  desc 'def'
  describe registry_key('blah') do
    it { should_not exist }
  end
end

control 'bar' do
  impact 1.0
  title 'abc'
  desc 'def'
  describe audit_policy do
    its('Kerberos Authentication Service') { should_not eq 'No Auditing' }
  end
end

in /tmp/a.rb and execute

bundle exec inspec exec  /tmp/a.rb --sudo-password vagrant  --sudo  --sudo-password 'vagrant' --host 10.0.0.101 --user vagrant --password vagrant --port 22 --backend ssh

where an ubuntu linux vm lives at 10.0.0.101, then inspec appears to observe one test fail (i.e. I see an F appear on console) but then hangs. This hang doesn't occur if I delete either rule foo or rule bar, and it doesn't occur if I remove the --sudo flag.

This appears to have been introduced by cd35d82
(At least, I can't repro before that commit) so @chris-rock maybe you want to take a look at this.

@jcreedcmu Thanks for highlighting. This is for sure an annoying bug. I have a look on this!
