I don't mind if you increase the timeout unconditionally in
`test_executable()`. Would 100 seconds (now it is 50) be sufficient?

Increase the alarm time.
I don't like the `find_next_available_port()` function anyway, it's un-
Pythonic (the Pythonic thing to do would be to try to `bind()` to a port
and use a next port if that fails) and therefore prone to race conditions.
