+Subject: [PATCH] Skip /monotonic-time-ns/similar test
+
+The test_similar test compares g_get_monotonic_time() and
+g_get_monotonic_time_ns() by spinning until the microsecond clock ticks
+and then asserting the two clocks haven't diverged beyond a factor of
+50. This is inherently racy under QEMU emulation on loaded hosts: the
+process can be preempted between the two clock reads, causing the
+assertion "50 * ns_elapsed > 1000 * us_elapsed" to fail.
