Maybe a timeout is not so crazy. I ran a couple of trials with
NOTMUCH_TEST_TIMEOUT=0, and it eventually hung (after 6, and 110
repetitions) in T355-smime, as far as I can tell on the first test.
I'm currently running some trials to see if I can duplicate that without
parallel execution, but that of course takes longer.
