When you give it a timeout, it'll return upto 1 timeslice before the timeout is due. I suspect that this is what is tripping up the test case on Mandriva. Could you apply the following patch, and re-build & run LIBVIRT_DEBUG=1 ./eventtest again, and also re-run with the 'strace -ttt -f ./eventtest' (i forgot to ask for -f last time).
