Well, as I said, the test runs fine on the other arches.  I'll see if I 
can reproduce the problem on the machine David is going to let me use, 
but otherwise unless I can get access to the builder, someone else is 
going to have to help me track this down.

Does strace give a clue as to what it is doing?  gdb?
