[issue39005] test_faulthandler: test_dump_traceback_later_file() fails randomly on AMD64 RHEL8 Refleaks 3.x

[STINNER Victor]

New submission from STINNER Victor <vstinner at python.org>:

AMD64 RHEL8 Refleaks 3.x:
https://buildbot.python.org/all/#/builders/206/builds/13

The system load was quite high: 12.64.

The test passed when re-run in verbose mode. So it may be related to the high system load while tests were run in parallel.
