Alright, I will disable it then.

Can you say more about the differences between the machines where it
succeeds and fails? It could help us figure out what's going on.

For me, I'm building on a Thinkpad (Intel Core i5-6300U CPU) using
Debian with Linux 5.9.1, with a tmpfs filesystem for the build
environment. I use an SSD for storage...  but I don't think the tmpfs is
ever swapping on this machine. There is a lot of unused RAM.

These fail for me often. I also sometimes see failures of
test_only_update_old_event, test_birthdays, test_birthdays_29feb and
test_birthdays_no_year.
