I don't like depending on a timeout *at all* in a regression test;
the exact value of the timeout is not particularly relevant to my
concern about it.
It surprises me quite a bit that there aren't any existing spots in
the regression tests that would expose a Halloween problem ... I guess
my other concern is that we shouldn't need a whole new test for this.
