FWIW: This test was consistently passing for me on Linux up thru Dec 29. Along with several other tests, it was failing for me on Linux on Dec 31 -- but it was *not* hanging and preventing 'make test' from proceeding. That hanging began yesterday (Jan 3) and has continued to the present -- notwithstanding 'make realclean' x (n>1) and even blowing away my sandbox completely.
That is valuable information. This bug is the primary thing I've been working on the past couple of days, and I'll let you know when I check in a fix for you to test.
Thanks, Allison
