tst-rndseek has a too short timeout (the machine I'm running this on is
10 years old). Doubling it lets the test pass.

What worries me is that, if the test runs into the timeout the child
exits with:
 Timed out: the child process got signal Unknown signal 64
although it should exit with SIGKILL, so there seems to lurk a signal
handling problem beyond the surface.
