http/tests/misc/acid3.html sometimes fails on Windows. Here's an example: http://build.webkit.org/builders/Windows%207%20Release%20%28Tests%29/builds/9903 http://build.webkit.org/builders/Windows%207%20Release%20%28Tests%29/builds/9904 http://build.webkit.org/builders/Windows%207%20Release%20%28Tests%29/builds/9905 The test only failed in build 9904. The test output said: ALERT: Test 69 failed: timeout -- could be a networking issue I don't think this is a new issue, but only recently have the bots been green enough to notice it.

Apparently for a test to time out, it must return "retry" 500 times in a row. Test 69 returns "retry" in this case: if (kungFuDeathGrip.title.length < 7) return "retry"; Looks like kungFuDeathGrip.title gets set up in test 65 by loading a bunch of iframes: http://trac.webkit.org/browser/trunk/LayoutTests/http/tests/misc/acid3.html?rev=60999#L2306 So I guess we're stalling while waiting for those iframes to load?

This is one of the most-frequent causes of flakiness on the Windows 7 bots.
