I'm confused about the intended scope of this patch.  The thread title
refers only to adding a regression test, but the actual patch includes
nontrivial C-code changes, and a skim of the recent discussion suggests
that there are some bug fixes involved.  Please clarify.

As I think I made clear already, I am not in favor of adding more
timing-sensitive regression tests here.  I do not think there is
value commensurate with the risk of intermittent test failures.
However, if we're fixing bugs or poor behavior, that's certainly
worth doing.
