I can make server-tests fail 100% on master and emacs-29 on Debian by
running the tests from inside emacs using vterm. I commented out all
the tests except server-tests/server-force-stop/keeps-frames

make -C test server-tests
make: Entering directory '/home/rpluim/repos/emacs/test'
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/rpluim/repos/emacs/test'
