Sync_test sensitive to flow of control.

[Chinwendu20]

Is it my experience alone that the sync_test is sensitive to flow of control. For example (note this is not unique to this process alone), I added a step to clone request in the query package but the "check long-running rescan results" times out. Adding a line of fmt.Println to debug, the test passes.

Any idea, on how we can go about this?
