I have tried your testsuite, but the results are a bit unexpected.
I only have around 2-5% failure reports. Often I even have 0% failures.
Sometimes I run 5 consecutive ./run_test 1000 and get 5 100% ok returned.
I either get 0 failures or 2-5%, never anything else.

If I activate the while, I always get 0% failure.

I would love to see if you could tweak the test a bit more to generate
a higher percentage of errors, just like check_dig does for me. I'm not
sure if RH will be impressed by those few errors.
I'm going to escalate it now anyways.
