Are you sure you've got the very latest version of all files on this

Yup. I've just done make realclean && make && make test again and this
time it hung at
t/pmc/parrotlibrary............................1/1
(time passes)
Another run flies past t/pmc/parrotlibrary.t and hangs at
t/stm/basic_mt.................................1/4
A few revisions ago the scheduler runloop was using a detached POSIX
thread (like the old event system), and occasionally had these
hangs. It's now using a joined POSIX thread, which resolves that
problem on Mac OS 10.4.x and Ubuntu.
Also, try commenting out the 'Parrot_cx...' lines in src/
inter_create.c and recompiling, to make sure the other failures
aren't completely unrelated to the new scheduler runloop.
With those lines commented out the tests all run with just a couple of
failures.
(Note to self to pick up a copy of 10.5.)
Please let me know if there's anything you'd like me to investigate.
I'm afraid I don't know my way around parrot, er, at all - but I'm
willing to learn.
In happier news it's snowing here and repeatedly running the parrot
test suite is warming my knees up nicely :)
