Modify n in `file-notify-test06-many-events' to be a smaller number, or
disable that test entirely. It is expected that this test runs for a
while. However, when I have tried this last time (some weeks ago), I
don't remember that all tests in filenotify.el took 15mn.

Looking into `file-notify--test-timeout', the timeout for "w32notify" is
much larger than the other timeouts. Likely it was me who has declared
this long timeout, but I don't remember the details. It could be a sign
that we have there problems, indeed.

Thanks for the quick answer. I can see that now.

However :

- both `file-notify-test02-events' and `file-notify-test06-many-events' fail (with nil instead of the expected value)

- I have the feeling that the read-event calls do not timeout in 0.1s as expected. When I run file-notify-test02-events 

  in edebug mode, read-event does not return in less than 5-10s. I don't know it is meaningful however.

I'll try to investigate, but I'm not familiar at all with the way all of this is working.
