Most of the printf's were already there before this round of updates, 
and there's enough differentiation in them to figure out which process 
is responsible.  In any case, the printf's aren't critical to the test 
(until you need to debug it!).

So for now, I'd rather just leave them all alone.  The test is now 
working correctly.

Thanks for the suggestion - definitely much better than "wait and hope" 
approach!  :)
