gamepad/gamepad-polling-access.html [ Timeout Pass ]

The test times out sometimes.

Firs timeout in last 4000 revision is at:

[r268451-r268452]             UNKNOWN
r268453                       TIMEOUT PASS (Expected: PASS)
[r268454-r268455]             UNKNOWN

It has been timing out more frequently lately.

The test takes an average of 3 seconds when passes successfully, so this is not a slow test.

The error can be reproduced running all the tests in the 'gamepad/' folder two times:

Another interesting thing is that when running 'gamepad/gamepad-polling-access.html' two times, the test returns a text failure:
