I'm running the OSX Tiger buildbot, and when I build Darcs on the same 
machine, in the same account, with the same environment, the "make test" 
runs to completion in *less* than the 1200 seconds the buildbot is 
reporting a timeout after.  Could this be a problem with the buildbot 
infrastructure on OSX?
