The value of enabled_capabilities can change across a call to
requestSync(), and we were erroneously using an old value, causing
things to go wrong later.  It manifested as an assertion failure, I'm
not sure whether there are worse consequences or not, but we should
get this fix into 8.0.2 anyway.

The failure didn't happen for me because it only shows up on machines
with fewer than 4 processors, due to the new logic to enable -qn
automatically.  I've bumped the test parameter 8 to make it more
likely to exercise that code.
