Since we are calling just two subsequent syscalls here it's very
unlikely that the difference in times will be greater than 1s even on
loaded system, but for sure we can increase that to two or three that
wouldn't do any harm.

Right, thanks for pointing it out!

That means that there is some leftover message queue on the system,
there may be a problem in how the IDs are allocated in the IPC test
library.

Do you have any steps to reproduce the issue?
