I haven't ever run the rts tests, but it looks like there's a race
condition between the output of the log message and the actual HTTP
response. I get different output between runs of rts.

I suspect the problem is that some output is going to fd 2 and some to
fd 3; even though they both end up in the same place, there might be
some random ordering at the OS level.

It doesn't seem to be worth worrying about; it's a defect in the tests,
not in the server.
