Speaking of failing tests, does anyone else see the problem that the
notification tests seem to completely hang quite often, especially
when something is wrong somewhere in other code? The tests seem
rather fragile :-(

I've noticed that when something goes wrong in a notification test,
the test may hang. I know why (*), but I did not find a clean solution
to fix it - I did not spend much time on this issue. If this is a
problem for the other developers, I'll go and look at it. Sorry about
that.

Something weird is that the notification tests are a bit slow with
MacOSX whereas they execute fast on other platforms (Windows, Linux).
I don't know why.

Cheers,
Manu

(*): the notification tests need to spwan a new thread that run the
local SMTP server. When something goes wrong, in some cases the SMTP
server thread never terminate and the main thread waits forever for
the SMTP server thread completion.
