The 14 is for SIGALRM.  This means the tests are timing out.
As the poster states, the failures are load dependent.

There is no bug here.  The poster is just trying to test
on a machine that is too heavily loaded.  As this is the
only report of such happenings, I'm not inclined to modify
the tests to increase the timeouts.

This bug report should be closed.
