Building local Tor sometimes fails at test phase

[kristapsk]

When doing ./install.sh --with-local-tor, it sometimes fails at test phase.

FAIL src/test/test-slow (exit status: 134)

Can others reproduce this? Unless it's something specific with my setup, this could be blocker for enabling local Tor by default. One workaround could be to not run Tor test suite, but I would not be too happy with that.

I tried again (I did test install for the PR too) on my machine, I see no failures (although there are skips):

It does not happen always, from time time to time. When I retry, it always succeeds.

Closing this, I don't remember having this problem for a long time. And no similar reports from others.
