I'd expect you to think that a hang is something to worry about on an 
official supported architecture. But I guess I was wrong.

Something changed between 2025-10-20 23:12:59 UTC and 2025-12-06 
05:19:56 UTC. Unfortunately the logs have been recycled, so we can't see 
what the failure was before 2025-10-20 23:12:59 UTC. I'll note that this 
aligns with a similar change in src:asterisk, which also started to time 
out, between 2025-10-15 09:11:40 UTC (PASS) and 2025-10-29 14:44:56 UTC.

I agree that having it at serious was a bit exaggerated, sorry for that. 
But I think it's a bug nevertheless, so I don't understand why you close 
it without any resolution.

I don't understand why you call it spurious, could you elaborate? I'd 
expect an alternative could be to fix the underlying issue? The s390x 
porters are quite responsive if you need help with s390x specific knowledge.
