# enough progress to return.  In particular, a block_func that just raises an
# exception regardless of whether trigger_func is called will lead to
# timing-dependent sporadic failures, and one of those went rarely seen but
# undiagnosed for years.  Now block_func must be unexceptional.  If block_func
