Depending on what the percentage actually is, maybe we could treat this like the "random" test, and allow a failure to be disregarded overall? But that doesn't seem very nice either, in view of our increasing reliance on automated testing. If "random" were failing 90% of the time on some buildfarm critters, that would probably indicate a real problem, but we'd likely not realize it for a long time.
I think this test would only fail if it runs out of workers, and that would only happen in an installcheck run against a server configured in a nonstandard way or that is doing something else -- which doesn't happen on the buildfarm.
