New issue 9194 by d...@chromium.org: WatchdogTest.AlarmTest hangs for five  
minutes on Valgrind
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=9194

base/watchdog.cc contains the statement
  if (last_alarm_delay > TimeDelta::FromMilliseconds(2)) {

This doesn't work properly under valgrind;
last_alarm_delay is often around ten ms there.
The result is that the test hangs for five minutes and then
fails.

http://codereview.chromium.org/42147 and
http://codereview.chromium.org/42266
were attempts to fix this.  The first was not accepted by
the author, the second didn't actually fix it.

I'm planning on disabling this test for now under valgrind,
since the watchdog code is only used for debugging anyway.
