the failure is just a precision range problem. increasing the nanosleep
USEC_PRECISION to 10 times more make the test suceed.

Now running with HZ = 1000 make the precision problem disappear (at the
expense of awakening the test 700ns too soon and still failing ..)

Could you try running with HZ = 1000 to see if there are still problems
with your programs ?

Also the strace output of the wget program failing might be handy to
know if there's a link with nanosleep at least.
