Acceptance criteria¶

• AC1: t/29-backend-generalhw.t is stable

Suggestions¶

• Confirm if this is happening reliably - it seems like it may be flaky
• Try to make sense of the code to spot the race condition
• Run the test in a loop and see if it fails
• Try running the test with a smaller time limit
