+# A current design limitation of the lttng-consumerd will cause it to
+# hang on shutdown if the timer management thread exits as the teardown
+# of channels switches off the channel's timers. The timer thread is
+# then expected to purge timer signals and signal when it is done.
+# Obviously this state will never be reached as signals are no longer
+# being processed. This is not dramatic as this is not what this test
+# is meant to test; we only want to make sure the health check signals that
+# something went wrong.
