Bug#834833: javassist: FTBFS too much often (failing tests)

Package: javassist
Version: 3.20.0-1
Severity: serious

Dear maintainer:

I tried to build this package with "dpkg-buildpackage -A"
(which is what the "Arch: all" autobuilder would do to build it)
but it failed several times.

A diff between a successful build and a failed build shows this:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tests run: 376, Failures: 1, Errors: 0, Skipped: 0, Time elapsed: 20.789 sec <<< FAILURE! - in javassist.JvstTest
testJIRA150(javassist.JvstTest4)  Time elapsed: 0.711 sec  <<< FAILURE!
junit.framework.AssertionFailedError: 326 < 3 * 79
        at junit.framework.Assert.fail(Assert.java:47)
        at junit.framework.Assert.assertTrue(Assert.java:20)
        at javassist.JvstTest4.testJIRA150(JvstTest4.java:666)


Results :

Failed tests: 
  javassist.JvstTest4#testJIRA150 AssertionFailedError 326 < 3 * 79

Tests run: 376, Failures: 1, Errors: 0, Skipped: 0
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So apparently there are some tests based on performance.

If that's the case, such tests must be disabled, as it's not written
anywhere that the performance of any given autobuilder will remain
constant during the package build.

Thanks.
