Should selftest success depend on verbosity?

[Maritza Mendez]

Ok.  I don't get this.  Please someone help me understand this.

System is jaunty jackelope x86_64 up to date and with PPA 1.15-1

*Observation #1*
If I say

    bzr --no-plugins selftest test_http

testing stalls at

    test_http.TestAuth.test_wrong_pass(pycurl,HTTP/1.1,basicdigest)

*Observation #2*
But if I say

    bzr --no-plugins selftest test_http -v

testing stalls at

    test_http.TestActivity.test_get(urllib,HTTP/1.0,https)


*Observation #3*
What's even more remarkable is that the test_wrong_pass which stalled the
non-verbose run actually passes in verbose mode:


test_http.TestAuth.test_wrong_pass(pycurl,HTTP/1.1,basicdigest)
OK                  49ms


Each of these observations was 100% reproducible in ten consecutive trials.

I suppose this could be explained by test order (shouldn't order by the same
for the commands quoted above?) or by sensitivity to timing differences
between verbose and non-verbose modes.  But I have no evidence to support
this pure speculation.
