#4310 failing test: httpold-4.12

[Matthias Kraft]

Hi *,

running "configure; make; make test" on Linux with the current HEAD gives

==== httpold-4.12 httpEvent FAILED
==== Contents of test case:

update
set x {}
after 500 {lappend x ok}
set token [http_get $url -timeout 1 -command {lappend x fail}]
vwait x
list [http_status $token] $x

---- Result was:
ok ok
---- Result should have been (exact matching):
timeout ok
==== httpold-4.12 FAILED

on all architectures (x86, x86_64, ia64, s390x).

It does, however, not fail on AIX, HP-UX, and Solaris!

kind regards

the test is timing sensitive,
which makes it unreliable.
