IIRC the test never actually completes, so the expected return there is
a SIGALRM.  In your case the test managed to complete (you've got some
monster hardware there!) which is why the test 'failed'.

Perhaps it would be a good idea to modify the skeleton to always
consider exit code 0 as success and then have the expected signals or
return codes be additional success factors.
