According to Ollivier Robert:

Trying it differently by putting a larger timeout (the same as above in
ata-disk.c that is, 5s instead of 1s), made the system survive an hg clone
of the src HEAD source and seems to survive a clone of /usr/ports.

Don't know yet what Søren think of that but I'll keep it in my tree.
