Bug Description

As seen here (though incorrectly targeted):
http://qa.jujucharms.com/releases/6015/job/run-unit-tests-race/attempt/3507#highlight

I was able to reproduce it locally, just by doing
cd cmd/juju/status
go test --race --check.v
^- unfortunately some of the earlier tests take 90s to complete, so this is a bit expensive (wall clock time is 222s for the whole suite, and a huge amount of time to build.)
Note that I also tried:
go test --race --check.v --check.f StatusHistorySuite

and that does *not* appear to trigger the failure.

It does seem to be the transition between test suites, I can trigger it a bit faster with:
gt --race --check.f "StatusHistory|TestSummaryStatusWithUnresolvableDns"

This looks to have been introduced by Tim's recent test suite around "juju show-status-log".
We are patching "time.Local" to force the test suite to give times in UTC time, but it appears to be racing with something else.

is racing with:

Probably the goroutine that is monitoring the time to see if it needs to kill the test suite because we went over time.
We probably can't fix that race, so we should see if we can avoid patching Local.
