Failures in ‘threads.test’

Hi Dale,

An easy answer, but there’s some truth in it:

This one may be sensitive to load.  Can you try changing
(+ (current-time) 2) to (+ (current-time) 5)?

This one is GC-sensitive.  It’s already kludged at length to improve the
chances of success, but I don’t know how to improve the situation.  It
could throw unresolved instead of failing, but that doesn’t really
help...

Thanks,
Ludo’.
