Running with -a 0 will invoke every stressor with an instance on each
CPU. Some of these stressors get I/O blocked or may be swapped out and
blocked for a relatively long time before they get re-scheduled, and
this can cause the timeout overrun.  Stress tests are timed out using
SIGALRM so it may be the case that some of the system calls that are
blocked that are not interruptible have to be waited for before
completion before the stressor is terminated.   This cannot be fixed -
it is a system behavioral issue that cannot be worked around.
