This test has been failing recently on macOS and Linux with "Group
should have terminated" when testing the shutdown of a channel group.
Chris and others working on the HTTP client API have had several
sightings during their testing.
The issue turns out to be a regression in channel group shutdown
implementation. When woken up, a thread should read a single byte from
the wakeup pipe but recent changes means it may consume more bytes, thus
leaving other threads waiting for an event. Easy fix to change this code
back to reading one byte. With this fix, the test runs 1M times for me
without an issue. Without the fix then it usually fails in 50000 runs or
less.
The webrev with the change is here:
