Mhmm. Not right now :). OTOH if they are all http/1.1 tests then perhaps
the author of that module could be persuaded :).

Lets raise XFAIL for strace tests if they encounter > 1 active thread.

Lets merge a patch which collects statistics on leaked threads from
tests, and reports at the end:
 - the number of tests where the thread count changed
 - the name of the first such test

Lets talk about http/1.1 - trailing gc is really not that good.
