The issue in question was noted on #kdevelop (prior to the whole Freenode
meltdown) on a few occasions.

I'm afraid I only have records of the hung test processes (and the gdb
processes above them using an entire CPU core indefinitely each).

Hopefully that is enough to identify the tests that are broken?
