I think the test_logging failure on Solaris is timing related. We don't

want to wait forever if we don't receive the last message.  But we also
don't want the test to fail if we shutdown too quickly.  I can't reliably
reproduce this failure, so I'm kinda guessing this is the problem.
We'll see if this band-aid helps.
