Preempt.java is one of several Kaffe regression tests ) that have built-in
timeouts (2 seconds in this case).  If your test system is busy, it's
entirely possible that these tests will fail, despite the (probable) fact
that Kaffe is working fine.  The full list of tests that can fail this way
CLTestJLock.java, CatchDeath.java, ExceptionInInitializerTest.java,
GCTest.java, Preempt.java, ProcessClassInst.java, ProcessClassLockTest.java,
SoInterrupt.java, SoTimeout.java, TestUnlock.java, ThreadInterrupt.java,
ThreadStop.java, and UDPTest.java.
