 Basically, async-io tests hang sometimes.  To reproduce the issue, just
 run the tests repeatedly until they hang.

 It was making salmonella hang on the linux machines.  I installed a hack
 to kill the hanging test process after some time.  Although the hack is in
 place and working, salmonella runs take longer when the test process
 hangs, as the hack polls to detect hanging processes.
