[asdf-devel] Retest

[Faré]

It's working reliably for me for Allegro (and modern) on Linux. Sigh.
Maybe sleep 1 is not reliable on these systems, and I need to sleep
for 2 seconds?
Nope, doesn't work for me.

I hate timing-dependent tests. Maybe I should make it time-independent
for ASDF using the cache frobbing like other tests, and only resort to
time-dependencies when testing native defsystems? But then, is it
still a fair comparison between defsystems?

I'm too tired to work on that anymore for tonight at least.
It's a new test, maybe it can be disabled for now,
at least for select OS/implementation combinations, with a
#+(or ...) (leave-test "Mysteriously fails on ... fixing later" ...)
