It seems p2p-compactblocks.py fails randomly

From: https://travis-ci.org/bitcoin/bitcoin/jobs/163788152 from #8841
The PR is trivial and totally unrelated to compact block

```
p2p-compactblocks.py:
Initializing test directory /tmp/test3yd_2q3h/2
start_node: bitcoind started, waiting for RPC to come up
start_node: RPC succesfully started
MiniNode: Connecting to Bitcoin Node IP # 127.0.0.1:11016

Testing compactblock headers and shortIDs are correct...
