[Qemu-block] Intermittent failure of iotest 203

[Max Reitz]

Hi,

iotest 203 relatively often fails for me, at least when run in parallel.
 When I run the following concurrently on four shells:

$ while TEST_DIR=/tmp/t1 ./check -T -qcow2 203; do; done
$ while TEST_DIR=/tmp/t2 ./check -T -qcow2 203; do; done
$ while TEST_DIR=/tmp/t3 ./check -T -qcow2 203; do; done
$ while TEST_DIR=/tmp/t4 ./check -T -qcow2 203; do; done

Very quickly (like under ten iterations), at least one of those starts
to hang and then fails because of a timeout in vm.get_qmp_event().

Before digging deeper into the ppoll() dungeon* myself, I decided to
report this so I wouldn't have to. :-)
