Thanks to Dscho who figured this out, the jk/unit-tests-buildfix
topic in my tree has been updated to pass "win test (n)" jobs.

I do not know much about "confusing" thing, but if the user
allocates, say, 16 jobs to run tests in parallel, and one of them
drives the "unit test suite runner" that wants to do its own
parallelism, we'd easily end up busting the resource limit the
end-user desires. It does not necessarily mean that we should limit
the parallelism of "unit test suite runner" to 1 under prove, though.
