It didn't fail for me.  However, it's possible that the 6 second timeout
is just a little too short for reliability.

Look at line 178 in the test/scripts/features/output-sync file.  It will
look like this:

  #MAKE#[1]: Leaving directory '#PWD#/bar'\n", 0, 6);

The "6" at the end is the timeout.  Try changing that to 10 just to see
if it helps.  If not then it's a real problem.  I'll need details about
your system.  Also please send the contents of the work subdirectory
after the failure.
