Description

The unit tests for TimeBasesAlphanumericIdentifierGenerator fail with Gump
sometimes for unknown reason. Unfortunately it seems, that the exactly test
reports are unavailable. Nevertheless I suspect timing problems that interfere
and may fail running the fixtures of the test within the same time slice.
Therefore was in setUp() a sleep(50) call that might fail to create a unique
operation environment for each test fixture depending on the OS/hardware
environment. This "synchronization" has been replaced with an explicit loop
waiting for the next time slice.
