It looks like it wasn't a bug in the async self-test.

Instead this appears to be a real bug that was discovered by the
async testing (because we now run all the tests at the same time,
thus testing the whether the driver deals with parallel requests
or not).

This is a bit accidental, because the driver in question registered
multiple hash algorithms.  Had it only registered one, then nothing
would have changed.

Is this something that we could improve in testmgr? Perhaps we can
add a bit of parallelism ourselves to cover the case where a driver
only registers one hash algorithm.

Cheers,
