test_waitfor_timeout():

                ...
                dt = time.time()
                result = cond.wait_for(lambda : state==4, timeout=0.1)
                dt = time.time() - dt
                self.assertFalse(result)
                self.assertTimeout(dt, 0.1)
                ...

with:

    def assertTimeout(self, actual, expected):
        ...
        self.assertGreaterEqual(actual, expected * 0.6)
        ...

It seems like time.time() gone backward on the buildbot. The test must use time.monotonic() to measure time difference.

Attached PR fix the issue.
