Hm, that's interesting, then. I mean, I confess I hadn't checked the machine specs in detail. But knowing that it's not a slow machine really makes things a bit more complicated. I wonder why this is happening... So, I spent more time investigating this, and I found that, when executing the testsuite, if you run Emacs with "--no-site-lisp", the problem doesn't manifest. Upon more investigation, I noticed that the problem happens after you load a certain number of Lisp files into Emacs. This makes little sense to me. I tried replicating the same Emacs environment on my machine, but the bug still doesn't happen here. I'm out of ideas (and energy!) now; maybe I'll continue tomorrow. In any case, the patch I provided is enough to stabilize the testsuite and make it pass again. I'll let you know if I find anything else.
