I think the reason why it's failing randomly sometimes is because the
test relies on sleep/usleep to accurately sleep the wanted amount of
time and everything else to take about zero time, and in those failure
cases it probably just doesn't work like that. So I'm not really
worried about those random failures. Increasing the sleep times by 10x
probably would get rid of them in the test.
