The same test for my patch is passing consistently. The setting call I'm making is session specific since this is a shell primitive.

@Armando what's the procedure to request for setting the ulimit of 'max pending signals' of the test server to 'unlimited' permanently in the configuration.
I believe that will resolve the issue and will prevent intermittent failures. It happens with heavy load and missing signals.

Once the configuration is done, I'll remove the call to `ulimit -i unlimited` from my patch, and will check the runs again. Meanwhile we'll keep an eye on whether the same test is failing for other patches. That'll indicate whether we need to tune the check active and wait delays.
