It does fail in the indicated way in CLOBBER_CACHE_RECURSIVELY, but I
guess that's expected. It also fails if I reduce the timeout from 60
seconds to 25.
I suppose 60 seconds (isolationtester's default timeout) is just not
enough time for those machines. We could increase it to 180 seconds and
see if that's enough to make them pass ...
Another possibility is to examine column 'state' in isolationtester. I
thought we only used that timeout for 'waiting' queries, but I see it's
not doing that.
