Description [edit section]

= Description =
For the docker board, kill10 and creat05 cause what appear to be hangs.

creat05 creates 1 million files, and then deletes them, which takes a very
long time (over 20 minutes).

creat05, during it's cleanup inside a docker container is only able to
delete 40,000 files per minute, on a bind-mounted drive.  That seems like
a real bug.  This slow rate stays consistent even when the number of files is reduced (to less than 100,000 files in the directory).  Maybe Linux or
docker has an inode management problem.

I don't know what kill10 is doing, but it also appears to hang the machine.

fork09, run inside the docker container creates a process on the host that
can not be destroyed.  The host operates very sluggishly.  Taking 4 seconds to
exit a terminal window.  The only way to recover normal operation is to reboot
the machine.

Research a way for these tests to operate more quickly, or a way to check
pre-conditions and avoid running the long versions of them (make 
a "quick" spec for LTP.
