Yes, that will prolong the fuzzy test on debug-kernel but fortunately fuzzy
has
'pair->exec_loops' to control the total test numbers. It wouldn't prolong
too
long I guess.

For the test which keeps looping until they run out of runtime (Martin
pointed)
we need to come up with a way to limit the runtime. I need to go though and
see
how many they are.
