Puh, finally ...

It's not that bad, all created events have passed, and most of the
changed events. In reality I don't expect any problem, because changed
events appear more than once for a given change.

As you could assume, I have no problems locally. I guess it is a problem
of timing, but I don't want to increase the delays longer than they are.

Yes, let's close this bug. Thanks for your patient testing!

Best regards, Michael.

Package: emacs
Version: 25.0.94
Severity: minor

Some filenotify tests have failed for some time (always?) for me on RHEL 7.2.
Finally a report about it. In the past I've only ever seen one extra
"changed", never the silly number the following log includes! :)

PS as you can see from the log, these tests took ~ 15 minutes to run.
