The issue #28176 introduced a new unit test which fails randomly on FreeBSD buildbots. Recent example:

Yury: Since you pushed the change adding the test, can you please take a look?

If nobody fixes the unit test, I will revert the change.

> If nobody fixes the unit test, I will revert the change.

I attached a patch that skips the test in case of a timeout in issue 28176. Did you had a chance to take a look at it?

Berker, I think it's an OK workaround. The test is kind of unstable, to the point of me thinking to just remove it (keeping the rest of the patch applied). Feel free to apply it.

I dislike the idea of a test for a race condition which skips itself if it
fails to reproduce the race condition :-/ I like the idea of removing he
unit test.

But I don't have a strong opinion on this issue.

OK, let's remove the test. I can do that myself in a couple of days.

Just saw http://buildbot.python.org/all/builders/AMD64%20FreeBSD%209.x%203.5/builds/1136/steps/test/logs/stdio and went ahead to remove the test.
