It's a little disconcerting that 10 seconds is not enough time, but we have so many timing issues these days it is not that surprising. :( The machines in question are relatively beefy but there is hardware visualization in the picture that may be an issue. Chris - another thing that is worth checking is whether any previous tests are leaving looping threads. These tests are running sequentially in the same VM and we have had cases in the past where a test creates a daemon thread that heads off into the weeds, leading to slow down in subsequent tests. I tracked down a few of these last year and don't think we have any now but worth re-checking.

Thanks for the advise. I'll certainly see if I can find any offending rogue tests that may be looping. I'll also proceed with this change.

In any case, the test change looks fine to me too. -Alan.
