* tests/mv/i-3: Quadruple the timeout duration.
Without this, I saw an expired timeout on a heavily-loaded system.

Whoops.  Since this is just an FYI patch,
I should have sent it to coreutils@, not bug-coreutils.
Closing...

close 7784

Safer to append "-done" in the Cc line, which I've just done.
Luckily, 7784 is not yet a valid bug number.
