Good find!  I didn't catch this in my setups as nothing in test.py is
currently long enough to trigger this apparently (I have both an am335x
evm and a beagleboard in my setup).  By inspection, the right fix for
all platforms would be to put the old default value in as this is what
was missed in the original patch from Marek.
