As per github #18129, github test VMs occasionally fail this alarm test.
This commit implements a loop that forces those systems to always fail the test.
On cygwin running directly on iron this doesn't fail even after 1000 iterations.
However in order to make github smokes a little more useful for now, this also marks it TODO.
