ThreadLocalTest relies on several threads running and printing
stuff out, then sleeping. The sleep times are supposed to be
such that they print out in a specific order. So either the
test is broken (the timing is non-deterministic) or else the
scheduling/sleep code for these machines is not working correctly.

Try this: modify the code such that all sleep times are multiplied
by 10, and see if you then get the "correct" output.
