Subject: bug#9737: misc/timeout-group: spurious test failure on SLES 10.3 (coreutils 8.14)

I don't wanna ruin your day (by reporting on 0-day old 8.14), but ...

On a virtual SLES 10.3 system with 2 Xeons (E5420  @ 2.50GHz),
the above test failed - but just once.

I cannot reproduce the error. I tried ~30 times, once with low system
load and once with a load of about 10.

Fortunately, I saved the logfile before retrying.
Ideas?
