You mean not expiring in time? I think so. If we use very few timers for the test (like it is the case for 5 steps), it seems to me very unlikely that we'll fail to make it in time. Well, if you launch some very CPU intensive tasks I might be wrong, but I don't think this will be the case for people running make check. After all, if we start getting reports of people that run the test that bogusly fail, we can relax the checkings. Mreover it's a good idea to set some maximum wait time for the test to finish via signals. Check the second patch attached to this email, apply it if you like it. Btw, please, don't remove me from the Cc, I check the list often but my mail client has a filter to put emails directed to me (To or Cc) in one specific folder, so I can prioritize emails that require some reply from me.
