The machine is my desktop box; I didn't notice anything too terrible while I was using it interactively at the same time the test build was running. The test build will run at -j8; it might also have been during a different -j8 build/test on the same machine for a different source tree. 60s is quite a long time, so maybe there's an intermittent deadlock in there instead... thanks -- PMM
