Well, yes, they do. Just try to run this test before the patch.
Anyway, I guess you’re right that we shouldn’t leave flaky tests if
possible, so I commented the flaky pieces out and added a request to
reenable them once #4625 (List dead fibers in fiber.top <http://fiber.top/>() output) is
implemented.

The diff’s below. Now 1000 out of 1000 tests pass with 16 concurrent
jobs, at least on my machine.
