As reported in JDK-8212812 on 2021-01-05, the test still failed due to a timeout after an elapsed time of 502738ms including timeout handling. The current timeout is 480000ms which represents the default timeout of 120s multiplied by the timeout factor of 4.

As these timeouts have been observed primarily if not exclusively on decade-old MacPro5_1 machines, the timeout should not appreciably increase the overall CI test execution time.

Seems like a reasonable means to address the issue
