The new mocha seems to have problems, and should be fixed.

Many other packages are affected by the #887586 build hang.

I have seen another dozen node-* packages that started to FTBFS 
recently, some/all/none of them might be related to the new mocha.
libjs-fetch was just one of the first packages where I saw problems
but I stopped reporting bugs as long as even #887586 is not resolved
to avoid creating many duplicates.
