Re: BUG #17391: While using --with-ssl=openssl and PG_TEST_EXTRA='ssl' options, SSL tests fail on OpenBSD 7.0

FWIW, I've also reproduced these results, on a fresh OpenBSD 7.0 install
inside a qemu VM: adding "host=localhost" silences all but two failures,
and then the sleep fixes those.

Add "host=localhost" to tests:

What's even more interesting:

* Adding the sleep alone fixes nothing.

* Sometimes, all the tests will pass without the sleep, just
the "host=localhost" hack.

That seems to confirm that there's a timing problem somewhere
in the CRL cases.

I don't have any theory about why "host=localhost" helps.
