Flaky tests are starting to get real annoying...

I guess this is http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10221

Here's the hardware and software (same as in that bug):
$ lspci | grep -i vga
00:10.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GeForce
7100/nForce 630i (rev a2)
$ cat /proc/driver/nvidia/version
NVRM version: NVIDIA UNIX x86 Kernel Module  169.12  Thu Feb 14
17:53:07 PST 2008

I tried updating my nvidia driver, but it was a disaster; I may just have to
wait until Intrepid comes out, since I failed the nvidia driver
installation IQ test.

To repeat the failure, try

#!/bin/sh
set -e
set -x
while true
do
  rm *.ok
  make test
done

in dlls/ddraw/tests.  That fails in well under an hour for me with

../../../tools/runtest -q -P wine -M ddraw.dll -T ../../.. -p ddraw_test.exe.so
visual.c && touch visual.ok

Annoyingly, this happens quite often under patchwatcher.
