Unit tests fail/take too long

[choksi81]

These tests don't pass on either version:

• ut_seattlelibtests_teststruct.py
• ut_repytests_testnetbothdup.py
• ut_repytests_testnetconndup.py
• ut_repytests_testrecvmessfunctions.py
• ut_repytests_testwaitforconnfunctions.py
• ut_seattlelibtests_testgeoip_client.py
• ut_seattlelibtests_testopenDHTadvertise.py
  These tests did not finish running in a timely manner, on both versions:
• ut_repytests_testnetmessdup.py
• ut_repytests_testcleanup.py
• ut_repytests_testcleanupudp.py
• ut_repytests_testloopbind.py
• ut_repynetworktests_multiple_iface_trybind.py
• ut_seattlelibtests_testhttpserver.py
• ut_seattlelibtests_testparallelize.py
• ut_seattlelibtests_testpyDes.py
• ut_seattlelibtests_testrsa.py
• ut_seattlelibtests_testsshkey.py
• ut_seattlelibtests_testxmlrpc.py

Monzur: Can you confirm these don't work? (I want a quick check on another setup.)
If these can be replicated, we can bump them over to someone else for a fix.

I looked into these tests (in particularly ut_repytests_testnetmessdup.py), and the test seems to hang forever. Looking a little deeper into this, I found that commit r5204 for emulcomm.py broke this. The test seems to run properly using emulcomm.py fromm r5164. r5204 made two lines of change in emulcomm.py that affects recvmess and sendmess.

Interesting. I guess this is Sebastian's commit from a while back.
Sebastian: can you fix this? Just promptly let me know either way.

[choksi81]

Not certain. I don't remember this change breaking anything when I pushed it, but I'll take a look and see if I can figure out what's going on.

I looked into these tests I found out that none of the tests pass successfully with the present version of emulcomm.py.
However, most the tests pass successfully with the emulcomm.py r5164.
The tests that fail to run are with r5164 are:
•ut_seattlelibtests_teststruct.py
•ut_seattlelibtests_testgeoip_client.py
•ut_seattlelibtests_testopenDHTadvertise.py
•ut_repynetworktests_multiple_iface_trybind.py
