State-Changed-Why:
Feedback timeout.

The actual issue complained about here does not exist,
other than when running the ATF tests improperly, as
was done in the "Repeat-By" section of the original PR,
which is probably what led to the assumption of what
was the problem that led to the original failures.

Since there was no indication what actually happened
with the original (correct) ATF run, other than "some
tests failed" (which may have been timeouts from running
on a slow CPU, or almost anything), and there has been
no attempt to supply the information requested, this PR
is being closed.

Should the tests ever be repeated, and fail again, then
with more information on why they actually failed, we
might be able to diagnose the issues.

For this, when running the tests (either all of them,
or any subset) use

	atf-run [tests] | tee SomeSuitableFile | atf-report

and when atf-report indicates something failed, go hunt for
that test's section in SomeSuitableFile and in a new PR,
include whatever that says actually went wrong with the tests.
