Hmm ... I'm not sure whether anyone's tried it with a dual-processor PPC
system before. I wonder if there's some problem with the PPC spinlock
code given multiple CPUs?
Could you build with --enable-debug and --enable-cassert (if you didn't
already), repeat the 'make check' scenario, and then attach to a few of
the stuck backend processes with gdb and get stack traces from them?
That would give us a little more info to work with.

Have you run 7.2.* on this same box under OS X? (Ie, could the problem
be specific to YDL?)
