While reviewing the thread [0], I looked at the Cirrus CI noticed a failure
in one of the isolation tests (timeouts) [1].

I re-ran the tests with the same patch and everything passed.

So the failure in that particular CI build appears to have been
flaky/infrastructure-related rather than caused by the patch itself.

Yes, this test has been occasionally flapping, on various platforms, not just
netbsd.

One thread already discussing this is

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I completely missed that thread.
