On v1.12.9, I've found that running

go test ./eth

Has intermittent failures such as:

Running with multiple cores this only shows up occasionally, but running with

GOMAXPROCS=1 go test ./eth

It appears much more regularly.

Thanks for the report!

Just for reference, here's another failing racy test command

go test -race ./eth

eth: fix race condition in tests
891b12b 
The race was discoverable with
go test -race ./eth
or under 'slow' machine conditions, eg. GOMAXPROCS=1
and/or a 'slower' machine.

The race was around the minArtificialFinalityPeers
value, which was both
- assigned in (during) the tests, and
- checked in the nextSyncOp function

and the order of those uses was nondeterministic.

This patch resolves the issue by moving
the adhoc and temporary re-assignment of that
package-wide value to the start of the tests,
before any go routines for peer handling
or sync protocol are fired off.

Note that the real-clock timeouts in these
tests can still cause spurious test failures
under 'slow' conditions (see their 250ms sleeps).

Fixes #521
