Investigate intermittent test hangs on AppVeyor #65
Description
Tests are randomly hanging on AppVeyor. This happens both for library and host tests. I still haven't uncovered the root of the issue yet but you can usually get past the issue by re-running the tests. This isn't a long-term solution so we'll have to uncover the root cause soon.

Turning off parallelized test runs in xUnit seems to have improved this somewhat but random tests still hang at times. Will continue to investigate as issues come up.

This seems to have improved a lot as many builds have completed with no issues. Eventually I may turn parallelism back on since some code changes I made recently could have resolved the core issue. We'll see how it goes.

I had the same problem. Turning off parallel execution solved the problem. I think it might be related to a single core build agent which seems to be the default for open source projects at AppVeyor.

Thanks Bernhard! Glad I'm not the only one who experienced this.
On that note, I haven't actually seen a test hang in a while after the async timeout change so I'm going to close this issue for now.
