Two reasons, and both indeed have nothing to do with the actual commit:

- Using `sleep-for' to wait for the ping to Gmane does not seem to
  wait. This seems to be this issue here:

  http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=15990
  http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2013-02/msg00294.html

  I replaced that `sleep-for' with a call to the 'sleep' binary...

- Connecting to Gmane seems to be unreliable, so I disabled running the
  test for now.
