NAK.

I don't like that proposal.  While it's true that there are occasional
TIMEOUT failures with the current setup, I'd much prefer these timeouts
(which we can easily distinguish) to removing the test from the travis
chain.  My understanding is that there *are* some functionality being
exercised by this test that isn't exercised elsewhere.  I'd prefer we
don't sacrifice the coverage.
