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.
