The timeout was set to 5 seconds in commit 112f28e88c4e ("tst-tzset: raise timeout to 5 seconds") to increase it from a default 2 seconds. That was before the default timeout was changed to 20 seconds in commit a28605b22946 (" test-skeleton: increase default TIMEOUT to 20 seconds"). If there's no good reason to limit execution time to less than default we shouldn't specify random values. That said in tst-tzset we'll be using default 20 seconds from now on.
